Im away to worm panacur equine guard now as i dont know the worming of my new horse so just thought id panacur guard all 4 or them.
 
no need to do all four, if they have been wormed they shouldn't have a major encysted problem as regular worming helps keep this at bay and it is best dealt with in the winter as you will then get any bots too.

new one : panacur 5 day
then: week later dose with double pyrantel (pyratape/strongid) or praziquantel (like equitape)

your others should be due a tapeworm dose sept/oct too so depending on when they are due you could do them at the same time.

I then do equest in december to deal with any bots and encysted red worm

then tape worm again march/april

then dose with ivermectin/moxidectin in the summer (I only do once ivermectin if at all as we poo pick daily)
 
I would say all on those site are fine apart from the eqvalan program which should have panacur or moxidectin included over the winter like the others do.

with regards to the brand names, for most (particularly ivermectin) there are cheaper versions about that are just as good, if you go somewhere to buy they must have a PML qualified person there to advise you who can help you with this as they should work on active ingredient
