PrecautionsĮQUIMAX ® Paste has been formulated specifically for use in horses and ponies only. In the first few weeks of life, foals born to the 3X treated mares had a higher incidence of transient ocular discharge and gastrointestinal disturbances (loose stools, diarrhea) and depression requiring medical intervention as compared to foals born to control mares. In addition, one of these two mares failed to ovulate in the second and third estrous cycles. Two treated mares had abnormally short diestrous periods of two days and eight days on the first estrous cycle following the birth of the study foal. One treated mare was dropped from the study because she did not conceive after three breeding attempts. In addition, elevations of GGT and AST were more frequent in the 3X treated mares, and in two mares these enzymes were elevated at the time of colic episodes. An increased incidence of colic was observed in treated mares as compared to control mares. Ten mares served as controls and were treated with the vehicle paste in a similar manner. In a reproductive safety study, eleven mares were treated with a 3X dose of EQUIMAX ® Paste every two weeks throughout breeding, pregnancy and lactation, up until the foal was three months of age. These signs resolved without treatment by day 10, and no other foals were affected. In a tolerance study in which 3- to 4-week-old foals were treated at 10X once, loose watery stools were observed on post-treatment days 1, 2, and 5-9 in one foal. Stallions and breeding, pregnant or lactating mares may be treated without adverse effects on fertility.
