How does Quest Plus Gel Horse Dewormer work?

The active ingredient, moxidectin, is effective against key equine parasites. Quest Plus Gel Horse Dewormer suppresses strongyle egg production through 84 days following a single oral administration. This residual strongyle control reduces pasture contamination and provides a period of protection from reinfection for horses and ponies on the same pasture. Praziquantel increases the tapeworm's membrane permeability to calcium and other cations causing severe contraction and paralysis of the tapeworm's muscles. As a result, the tapeworm is unable to attach to the host's intestinal wall.
