Pharmacodynamic properties: Moxidectin is an antiparasitic active against a wide range of internal and external parasites; it is a second-generation macrocyclic lactone belonging to the milbemycin family. Moxidectin acts by interfering with GABA receptors and glutamate-linked chloride channels. The resulting effect is the opening of post-synaptic junction chlorine channels and the entry of chlorine ions inducing an irreversible resting state. This causes flaccid paralysis, with the eventual death of parasites exposed to moxidectin. The drug is effective against cyathostome strains resistant to benzimidazoles. Pharmacokinetic properties: Moxidectin is absorbed after oral administration, with peak blood levels reached 8 hours after administration. Oral bioavailability is 40%. Moxidectin diffuses into all body tissues, but due to its lipid solubility, it concentrates preferentially in fat. Half-life is 28 days. Moxidectin is partially metabolized by hydroxylation. The only significant route of excretion is via the faeces.
A single dose of 400 µg moxidectin per kg bodyweight using a calibrated oral syringe.

Hold the syringe so that the cap is on the left and the weight indications and marks (small black bars) can be read. Each mark corresponds to 25 kg live weight.
Turn the dial until the left-hand side of the dial is opposite the animal's weight. We recommend weighing the horse or estimating its weight to determine the appropriate dosage.

One syringe treats a 700 kg horse.
