How Noropraz oral paste for horses works
Noropraz oral paste for horses contains two active ingredients.

Ivermectin targets many important adult and immature roundworms and bots.
Praziquantel targets tapeworm in the gut.

Ivermectin affects the parasite’s nervous system. This causes paralysis and death in susceptible worms and bots. Praziquantel damages the surface of tapeworms so the horse’s gut can clear them.

By reducing parasite burdens, Noropraz oral paste for horses helps protect the intestines. This supports weight, coat condition and overall wellbeing.

When Noropraz may be used
Your vet or SQP may recommend Noropraz oral paste for horses:

• As part of tapeworm control
Used at suitable times of year when tapeworm treatment is needed, based on risk or testing.

• Within a roundworm and bot programme
Chosen when your horse needs broad-spectrum treatment that also covers bots.

• In targeted worming strategies
Used when faecal egg counts, tapeworm tests or yard risk assessments show that a combined ivermectin and praziquantel product is appropriate.

The exact timing and frequency depend on age, grazing, testing, stocking density and previous worming history. Professional advice helps avoid over-use.

How to give Noropraz oral paste
Noropraz oral paste for horses is given by mouth using the supplied syringe.

Basic steps:

Weigh your horse or use a weigh tape to estimate bodyweight.
Set the plunger to the correct weight mark for that horse.
Place the syringe into the side of the mouth, over the back of the tongue.
Depress the plunger fully and raise the head briefly to encourage swallowing.

Always check that the full dose is given and swallowed. Do not divide one pre-set dose between two horses. If you are unsure your horse received the full amount, speak to your vet or SQP before giving more.

Worming and yard management
Noropraz oral paste for horses works best as part of a full parasite control plan. A wormer alone is not enough.

Your vet or SQP may also suggest:

Regular faecal egg count testing where appropriate
Tapeworm blood or saliva testing at agreed intervals
Targeted dosing based on results and risk
Regular poo-picking of paddocks to reduce contamination
Sensible stocking rates and field rotation where possible
Quarantine, testing and worming plans for new arrivals

These measures help protect your horse and slow the development of wormer resistance on your grazing.
