I think you’ll have to expound on your post by providing the recommended dose based on body weight. Also, the photo you provided states “Ivermectin paste”. How do you dose Ivermectin paste?
1 tube of the paste is the amount used for a 1,250 lb horse.
One syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight. If you are a 250 lb human... then I think that you go by the syringe markings (and also lay off the ice cream and twinkies).
One interesting warning:
"Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Not for use in humans".
The dosage is 1/12 of a tube per 100 lbs body weight. There is a fair bit of leeway in the safety of the dosage, so getting the exact right amount is not that important.

The syringe has it measured out on the piston shaft.
200lb dose is about the size of two pencil erasers removed from the back of a #2.
I'll give them credit -- the packaging has more love and care in administration than some other $1000+ medications I've taken in the past.
I guess horses matter more than people :P

So, it’s a paste that’s injected? Just curious.
Not injected. It just comes in a big tube for big mouth horses.
Don't shove this under your skin, please. It is oral.
I thought it was a topical paste, run on action?
No, a syringe doesn't have to have a needle. It's just the plunger part with a hole at the bottom. You squirt the syringe in the horses mouth.
Oral paste. you put it in the horse's mouth.
Thanks fren!
Just like when you give medicine to a baby from a syringe with no needle- you Just squirt it inside the cheek so they will swallow- same thing.

Who raises horses intended for human consumption?
The French
I believe Findus were putting it in our Lasagna for a while. Romania IIRC.
Wow.
Also Japan, they make horse sushi...
It is yummy though, why cows and not horses ?? I don’t get it
Both or neither?
Finland.
