Q-drench®

Four-way drench.

Q-drench<sup>®</sup> | Zoetis NZ

Q-drench is a short acting, four-way combination sheep drench. It has all the advantages of a normal triple drench but with the added killing power of closantel. All four actives kill Barbers pole worm (H. contortus), giving it the potential to further slow down the development of resistance of this blood sucking parasite.

Q-drench also kills adult liver fluke and its immature larvae from 6 weeks of age, reducing the impact that both fluke and gastrointestinal nematodes have on ewe performance.

Efficacy against susceptible strains of:

  • Gastrointestinal roundworms
  • Lungworm (Dictyocaulus)

Efficacy against resistant strains of parasites:

Q-drench has been trialed in both worm count slaughter studies and field efficacy studies against resistant parasite strains.
