Zimecterin Gold wormer

[CrescentMinis]

Is it OK to use this wormer on pregnant mares? I have 2 coming home soon and depending on what the breeder says she's already doing, I may start their worming program right away. This product looked good to me from the standpoint of two drugs in one (unless there is any danger in that!).

Product marketing materials say:
