Equest Plus Tape
Equest Plus Tape is presented as a convenient, long-acting option that combines a macrocyclic lactone with a tapeworm-active ingredient for single‑dose control of strongyles and tapeworms; its ease of application and extended interval between treatments make it a best-in-class choice for stabled or working horses. Compared with short-course chemical options like Panacur PowerPac it can reduce labor and dosing frequency costs, although per-dose price is typically higher than inexpensive generics such as Strongid P.

Panacur PowerPac
Panacur PowerPac (fenbendazole) is a proven, cost-effective multi-day regimen favored for treatment of heavy ascarid burdens and encysted cyathostomes; its low price and well-documented efficacy make it a go-to choice for targeted therapeutic interventions. While it does not address bots or tapeworms like ivermectin+praziquantel combinations (e.g., Zimecterin Gold, Eqvalan Duo), its affordability and role in resistance-management strategies give it strong financial and tactical advantages in a rotational program.

Review Summary
"Panacur PowerPac is frequently praised for clearing encysted small strongyles where single-dose products fail and is valued for affordability, but the five-day dosing regimen is seen as inconvenient and there are occasional reports of regional resistance. Most long-term users report good results when used correctly."
Foal-safe option — gentle-guard

Strongid P
Strongid P (pyrantel pamoate) is a low-cost, safe option especially useful for foals and pregnant mares, delivering effective control of ascarids and many small strongyles at a budget-friendly price point. Although it lacks activity against encysted larvae and tapeworms that praziquantel-containing products address, its financial advantages and OTC availability make it a practical backbone for cost-conscious rotational deworming programs.

Review Summary
