The Gold Standard is Parasite Control

Whether your horse is in a stall, on a pasture or at a show, it can be infected by any number of equine parasites harmful to its well-being. Parasites can cause organ damage and respiratory problems, and contribute to colic.

That's why your choice of equine dewormers is so important. Make Zimecterin® Gold (ivermectin/praziquantel) the cornerstone of your deworming program. Zimecterin Brand products have been trusted for more than 20 years.

The Product

Zimecterin Gold combines ivermectin, a leading ingredient that controls a wide variety of parasites, with praziquantel, an ingredient that specifically controls tapeworms. Together, they provide excellent equine parasite control. Zimecterin Gold is approved to control more species and stages of equine parasites than any other brand, including benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles. It controls 47 species and stages of equine parasites in all.

Plus, Zimecterin Gold was the first dewormer approved by the FDA to effectively control tapeworms with a single dose. Tapeworms have been recognized as a significant threat to the health of horses.
