EQUICORT ITCH TREATMENT FOR HORSES 100ML

Equicort® QLD Itch Treatment for Horses is a novel topical therapy for the reduction of lesions and pruritus associated with insect bite hypersensitivity in horses. It contains the active ingredients budesonide, a glucocorticoid, and permethrin, an insecticide, providing control of skin inflammation, reducing pruritus, and addressing the cause of the disease by killing biting midges.

Budesonide is a locally acting steroid that when applied topically, is absorbed and retained in skin cells by undergoing reversible esterification, providing a longer duration of activity and prolonged anti-inflammatory effects.

Permethrin targets sodium channels in the nerves of insects leading to paralysis and death.

Equicort® is formulated in a leave-on conditioner that moisturises the coat, is easy to apply to both haired and non-haired skin, and readily absorbs into the skin without leaving a residue on the coat.
