Veterinary Analysis of EQUEST ORAL GEL 14,8GR 1 SYRINGE

Equest Oral Gel is a next-generation equine antiparasitic formulated with moxidectin, a long-acting milbemycin. It is designed to eliminate and prevent gastrointestinal parasite infestations in horses and ponies, including encysted larvae, which are difficult to treat with other products. Its advanced formula allows for quarterly dosing, reducing the frequency of administration and improving animal welfare with fewer interventions.
