Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What parasites does Zimecterin Gold effectively control?

A: Merial Zimecterin Gold offers unparalleled broad-spectrum protection, controlling an impressive 61 species and stages of equine parasites. This includes critical targets like tapeworms (Anoplocephala perfoliata), large and small strongyles (including those resistant to some benzimidazoles), ascarids (roundworms), bots (oral and gastric stages), pinworms, lungworms, hairworms, large-mouth stomach worms, intestinal threadworms, and also helps address summer sores and dermatitis caused by neck threadworms.

Q: What are the active ingredients in Zimecterin Gold and how do they work?

A: Zimecterin Gold contains a powerful combination of 1.55% ivermectin and 7.75% praziquantel. Ivermectin is highly effective against a wide range of internal parasites by interfering with their nervous system, leading to paralysis and death. Praziquantel specifically targets tapeworms, disrupting their calcium balance and causing spastic paralysis, making this combination a comprehensive solution for diverse parasitic threats.

Q: Is Zimecterin Gold safe for all horses, and are there any usage restrictions?

A: Zimecterin Gold is approved for use in horses two months of age or older. It has not been tested in foals younger than two months, mares at or near breeding time, pregnant or lactating mares, or breeding stallions, so caution should be exercised in these groups, and a veterinarian consulted. While rare, temporary swelling and irritation of the mouth, lips, and tongue have been reported after administration. CRITICAL SAFETY NOTE: This product is FOR HORSES ONLY. It can cause severe adverse reactions, including fatalities, in other animal species, especially dogs. Keep out of reach of non-equine animals.

Q: How do I properly administer Zimecterin Gold, and what is the correct dosage?

A: Each 7.35gm syringe is designed to treat one horse weighing up to 1,250 lbs. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lbs of body weight. To administer, depress the plunger onto the back of your horse's tongue. Immediately after dosing, raise your horse's head for a few seconds to ensure the paste is swallowed. Always consult your veterinarian for specific dosage recommendations and to establish a tailored deworming schedule.

Q: How does Zimecterin Gold address dewormer resistance, and what about deworming programs?

A: Zimecterin Gold remains effective against small strongyles that have shown resistance to some benzimidazole dewormers, thanks to its unique active ingredients. To combat widespread dewormer resistance, veterinarians often recommend a strategic deworming program based on fecal egg count (FEC) tests. This approach helps identify which horses need deworming and when, reducing unnecessary treatment and slowing resistance development. Rotating deworming products, under veterinary guidance, is also a key strategy.
