Ensure your horse’s peak performance and long-term vitality with the gold standard in comprehensive parasite protection. This single-dose solution eliminates the hidden internal threats that cause weight loss and colic, giving you the peace of mind that your equine partner is truly protected from head to tail.

Zimecterin Gold is engineered with a potent, dual-action formula of Ivermectin and Praziquantel, making it the first FDA-approved dewormer to target dangerous tapeworms in a single, convenient dose. By addressing 61 species and stages of parasites—including those that have developed resistance to traditional benzimidazole compounds—this veterinarian-recommended paste ensures your horse maintains the gut health, weight, and "bloom" necessary for both the pasture and the show ring.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Dual-Action Formula: Utilizes a powerful combination of 1.55% Ivermectin and 7.75% Praziquantel to provide the broadest spectrum of control available on the market today.
• Tapeworm Specialist: Specifically formulated to eliminate tapeworms (Anoplocephala perfoliata) in a single dose, targeting the parasites most often linked to serious equine colic.
• Comprehensive Protection: Proven effective against 61 species and stages of equine parasites, including bots, large and small strongyles, pinworms, lungworms, and roundworms.
• Overcomes Resistance: Highly effective against small strongyles that have developed resistance to "white paste" (benzimidazole) dewormers, giving you a critical edge in parasite management.
• Precise Weight-Based Dosing: Each 7.35g syringe features a locking plunger with easy-to-read markings every 250 lbs, allowing for accurate treatment of horses up to 1,250 lbs.
• Strategic Seasonal Utility: The industry-preferred choice for "strategic deworming" in late fall or early winter to clear out bots and tapeworms accumulated during the grazing season.
• Safe for Young Horses: Approved for use in foals as young as two months of age, ensuring early protection during critical growth stages.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why should I choose Zimecterin Gold over a standard ivermectin dewormer?
A: While standard ivermectin is excellent for roundworms and bots, it cannot kill tapeworms. Zimecterin Gold contains Praziquantel, which is specifically included to eliminate tapeworms that other products miss, providing a more complete "clean out" for your horse.

Q: When is the best time of year to use this product?
A: While it is an excellent broad-spectrum dewormer year-round, veterinarians specifically recommend Zimecterin Gold for late fall or early winter administration. This "strategic" timing, usually after the first hard frost, effectively removes the tapeworms and bots your horse may have picked up during the peak grazing months.
