Bimectin kills adult and immature larval small strongyles or cyathostomes unless overwise stated. Bimectin can be used with complete confidence in foals, mares, ponies and horses. Mares may be treated at any stage of pregnancy and the fertility of stallions that have been treated has not been affected.

Large strongyles:

Strongylus vulgaris (bloodworm) – adults and arterial larval stages S. edentatus – adults and tissue larval stages S. equinus – adults Triodontophorus spp. – adults
