In horses with severe infections, treatment may result in mild, transient colic and loose faeces due to the destruction of the tapeworms. Parasite resistance to a particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.

Tapeworms are very dangerous if found out at a later stage, they can cause severe infection in the horses. To ensure full protection of the horses I use equitape paste and keep them safe from tapeworms
