Horses should have a regular parasite control program. Regular treatment will reduce the risk of disease due to small and large strongyles such as colic and verminous arteritis. Reinfestation of horses with worms is common and treatment must be repeated routiely to ensure effective control. Retreatment intervals can be safely administed every 13 weeks.
