Equimax LV Low Volume Allwormer Paste for Horses
Equimax LV (Low Volume) Oral Paste for Horses — the same ivermectin + praziquantel allwormer as standard Equimax, delivered in a smaller-volume syringe that's quicker to dose, easier to swallow and gentler on the horse's mouth. Made by Virbac. Ships USA, Canada and worldwide — no vet prescription required.
The same Equimax coverage in a smaller, easier-to-give dose
Equimax LV uses the same active ingredients as standard Equimax — ivermectin and praziquantel — but in a more concentrated paste formula, so each syringe delivers a smaller total volume per horse. That makes the dosing process quicker, less messy, and significantly less stressful for horses that fight bigger oral doses. Coverage is identical to standard Equimax — every major internal parasite including all three species of tapeworm and all three species of bots.
Equimax LV is particularly popular with show horses, foaling barns and any operation that doses lots of horses in a single session.
What Equimax LV kills
- Large strongyles including arterial-migrating stages
- Small strongyles / cyathostomins (adult stages)
- Roundworms (Parascaris equorum)
- Pinworms (Oxyuris equi)
- Threadworms (Strongyloides westeri)
- Stomach worms (Habronema, Trichostrongylus axei)
- Lungworms (Dictyocaulus arnfieldi)
- Bots (Gastrophilus species) — all three species
- Tapeworms (Anoplocephala and Paranoplocephala species) — all three species
Active ingredients
Equimax LV contains ivermectin and praziquantel in a higher-concentration formulation. One Equimax LV syringe doses a horse up to 700 kg (1,540 lbs) in a smaller total paste volume than standard Equimax.
How to give Equimax LV
- Estimate your horse's weight
- Set the dose ring to the right weight mark
- Place the syringe nozzle at the back of the tongue and depress fully
- Raise your horse's head briefly to ensure the paste is swallowed
Why pick Equimax LV over standard Equimax?
- Smaller total paste volume — quicker to dose, easier on the horse's mouth
- Same full-spectrum coverage as standard Equimax
- Less mess — particularly useful in show, sale or competition prep
- Better tolerated by horses that fight a larger-volume dose
Other options in this range
- Equimax — the original full-volume paste
- Equimax Elevation — apple-flavoured, easier in foals and fussy eaters
- Strategy-T — different drug class for rotation
- Ultimum — long-acting moxidectin + praziquantel for maximum coverage
- Equimec — ivermectin-only, cheaper but no tapeworm cover

Worldwide shipping — no prescription required
We ship Equimax LV to the USA, Canada, UK, Europe and worldwide. No vet prescription needed. International tracking included on every order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Equimax LV stronger than standard Equimax?
A: No — Equimax LV delivers the same total active dose as standard Equimax. The paste is more concentrated, so each gram contains more active, but the syringe is calibrated so the dose-per-kg of horse bodyweight ends up identical. Coverage and efficacy are unchanged.
Q: How often should I worm my horse?
A: Most vets recommend worming adult horses every 8–12 weeks, rotating between drug classes (e.g. Equimax → Strategy-T → Ultimum) to slow the build-up of parasite resistance. Foals are wormed more often (every 4–6 weeks) and pregnant mares should be dosed 4–6 weeks before foaling. Faecal egg counts every 6 months are the most accurate way to fine-tune your worming schedule.
Q: How do I dose by weight?
A: Estimate your horse's weight using a weight tape, a livestock scale, or the bodyweight formula (girth² × length ÷ 11,990). Set the plunger of the syringe to the corresponding weight mark, place the syringe at the back of the tongue and depress. Hold the horse's head up for a few seconds to make sure the paste is swallowed.
Q: Can I worm my pregnant mare?
A: Yes — all the products in this range are safe in pregnant mares when used at label dose. The standard recommendation is to worm 4–6 weeks before foaling, especially with a praziquantel-containing product (Equimax, Equimax Elevation, Equimax LV or Ultimum) to clear tapeworm before delivery.
Q: Why should I rotate between wormers?
A: Equine worms — especially small strongyles (cyathostomins) — develop resistance to single-class wormers when they're used continuously. Rotating between three or more drug classes makes resistance much slower to develop. The textbook rotation is: a macrocyclic lactone (Equimax/Equimax Elevation/Equimax LV/Ultimum) → a benzimidazole + tetrahydropyrimidine (Strategy-T) → back to a macrocyclic lactone. Faecal egg count testing helps you confirm your rotation is still effective.
Q: Are these wormers safe for foals?
A: Equimax Elevation is specifically formulated for foals from 2 weeks of age. Equimax and Equimax LV are safe in foals from 2 weeks of age at the correct dose. Strategy-T and Ultimum are for horses over 4 weeks of age. Always check the label dose for very young foals.
Q: Do I need a prescription?
A: No. All Virbac horse wormers in this range are sold over the counter — no vet prescription required. We ship to the USA, Canada, UK, Europe and worldwide.
