| Marquis treats EPM. EPM
is a parasitic disease that affects the brain, spinal cord, and
nervous system in horses. It can cause mild signs of incoordination
in some horses and can quickly make other horses so unstable they
cannot get up. Marquis is a prescription medication that treats
this incordination. Neurological signs include asymmetric incoordination
(ataxia), weakness and spasticity, although they may mimic almost
any neurological condition. Marquis is the best known medicine
for this disease. |
