Switch Lotion for Horses - The original sweet itch remedy for horses, ponies and donkeys

Switch Lotion is a ready to use liquid solution designed to facilitate the maintenance of Sweet Itch in horses, ponies and donkeys. Switch Lotion contains an effective insecticide, which acts as part of a strategy of control measures that should be applied over 2-3 months during the spring and summer. Easy to use thanks to a calibrated dispensing chamber found within the applicator bottle.

Horse owners and equestrians understand the challenges of dealing with sweet itch, a common skin condition that afflicts horses worldwide. Also known as summer eczema or Culicoides hypersensitivity, sweet itch results from an allergic reaction to the bites of Culicoides midges. These bites cause severe itching, hair loss, and even open sores. To help combat sweet itch in horses, Switch Lotion, containing permethrin, has emerged as a game-changer in the equine community.

Switch Lotion serves as an effective treatment for sweet itch due to its active ingredient, permethrin. Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts as a powerful insecticide and repellent, warding off the Culicoides midges responsible for sweet itch. When applied regularly, Switch Lotion helps protect horses from midge bites and reduces the severity of sweet itch symptoms.

Switch Lotion for Horses – Protection Against Sweet Itch

Switch Lotion for Horses is a topical solution designed to treat and protect against Sweet Itch, a common skin condition in horses caused by bites from midges and other flying insects. Sweet Itch can cause severe itching, irritation, and discomfort for your horse, leading to scratching, skin damage, and hair loss. Switch Lotion works to prevent this by creating a protective barrier on your horse’s skin, reducing itching and promoting healing. It is an effective treatment for horses prone to this condition and provides long-lasting protection from further irritation.

How Switch Lotion for Horses Works

Switch Lotion contains the active ingredient Permethrin, which is a synthetic insecticide and repellent. Permethrin is highly effective at repelling and killing biting insects, including midges, flies, and mosquitoes. These insects are the primary cause of Sweet Itch in horses, as their bites provoke an allergic reaction in some horses, leading to intense itching and discomfort.

  • Repels Biting Insects: Once applied, Switch Lotion coats the horse’s skin with a protective layer of Permethrin. This repels midges and other biting insects that would otherwise cause irritation. By keeping these insects away, Switch Lotion prevents the allergic reaction that leads to Sweet Itch.

  • Kills Insects on Contact: If insects do land on the horse’s skin, the Permethrin in Switch Lotion works to kill them on contact. This eliminates the risk of further bites and stops the cycle of irritation and itching before it can begin.

  • Soothes Itching: For horses already suffering from Sweet Itch, Switch Lotion helps to reduce itching by preventing further insect bites and allowing the skin to heal. The lotion creates a protective barrier, allowing the horse’s skin to repair itself without the constant irritation from insect bites.

  • Long-Lasting Protection: A single application of Switch Lotion can provide protection for up to one week, making it a convenient and reliable treatment for managing Sweet Itch. Regular application during peak insect seasons helps keep the condition under control and reduces the likelihood of flare-ups.
