Rotating Classes
Below is a chart of the three classes and the chemicals in each. For information on the various parasites each chemical controls, talk to your veterinarian and refer to dewormer product labels. Because they are considered drugs, equine dewormers—and their label claims—are highly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
Class | Chemicals |
Macrocyclic lactone | ivermectin moxidectin |
Pyrimidine | pyrantel tartrate pyrantel pamoate |
Benzimidazole | oxibendazole oxifendazole fenbendazole |
Additionally, praziquantel for the control of tapeworms in horses is now available in some dewormers. |
