A reduction in the prevalence of associated colic could be expected. ValuMAX Red Tube is also effective for the control of skin lesions caused by Habronema and Draschia spp. cutaneous larvae (summer sores) and Onchocerca spp, microfilariae (cutaneous onchocerciasis). Treats 600kg bodyweight.

Active Ingredients

  • Abamectin 3.7mg/g
  • Praziquantel 46.2mg/g


Dosage

  • Dose orally at the recommended rate of 1mL per 20kg (0.2mg/kg abamectin and 25mg/kg praziquantel). Each marking on the syringe plunger will deliver sufficient paste (2.7g) to treat 50kg bodyweight.
  • One syringe of ValuMAX Red Tube will treat a 600kg horse.


Direction for Use

ValuMax Red Tube can be administered directly in the mouth or mixed in with the horses feed.

To give the correct amount of paste, turn the ring on the plunger on the syringe to the appropriate bodyweight setting. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver sufficient paste to treat 50kg bodyweight.


Administration by mouth:

Turn the ring on the plunger to the appropriate bodyweight setting. Insert the syringe into the side of the horse’s mouth, in the gap between the front and back teeth. Advance the plunger as far as it will go, depositing the paste on the rear of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse’s head for a few seconds to ensure the full dose has been swallowed. 

If there is any paste remaining, replace the cap on the syringe and store at room temperature until needed again. For hygiene concerns, it is not advisable to use the same syringe of different horses.


Frequency of Use

All horses, and particularly mares, foals and yearlings, should be included in a regular parasite control program. Because re-infection is common, treatment must be repeated routinely for effective control.

Treatment should be repeated every 6-8 weeks for continual worm control.


Pregnant Mares / Foals

It is recommended to treat pregnant mares four weeks prior to foaling with ValuMax Red Tube. The first treatment for a foal should be at 6 to 8 weeks of age.

Consult your veterinarian for a control program to meet your specific needs.


Precautions

It is not recommended to use ValuMax Red Tube in foals under 6 weeks of age.


Palatability

ValuMax Red Tube is a palatable, oatmeal flavoured paste which minimises the likelihood of rejection by the horse on dosing.
