Quest Gel (Moxidectin)
QUEST Gel equine dewormer is recommended for early grazing season. According to the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Parasite Control Guidelines, small strongyles are the most important parasite to target with treatment in horses 9 months of age and older. The AAEP Guidelines consider moxidectin - the active ingredient in QUEST Gel - the parasite experts' treatment of choice against small strongyles (both adults and encysted larvae). This effective horse dewormer also provides broad-spectrum treatment for large strongyles (bloodworms), bots, pinworms, hairworms and stomach worms.
Dosage: 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg body weight. One syringe treats horses weighing up to 1,500 pounds, and the unique gel formula dissolves on the horse’s tongue, making deworming easy!

The active ingredient in Quest is Moxidectin. It is effective against roundworms or ascarids, pinworms, large strongyles small strongyles, hairworms, stomach worms, Onchocerca cervicalis and bots. This is the only dewormer that kills dangerous encysted mucosal larvae (LL3 and L4) before they emerge. It is expected that the administration of QUEST Gel as per label directions can eliminate approximately 80% of the developing, encysted cyathostomes
When used at the recommended dose, suppresses strongyle egg production for up to 84 days following a single administration, thereby reducing pasture contamination and providing a period of protection from reinfection for equines grazing that pasture.
QUEST is a gel and dissolves rapidly in the horse’s mouth. This minimizes head-tossing and greatly reduces spit-out associated with paste dewormers. Coupling the gel formulation with the QUEST Sure-Dial syringe makes it easy to give your horse an accurate dose.
Weight measurements should be accurately determined to ensure the correct dose of QUEST is administered.
Do not use QUEST Gel or QUEST PLUS Gel in foals less than 6 months of age or in sick, debilitated and underweight horses. Do not use in other animal species, as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.
