I bought the brand zimecterin 1.87% which according to the box is the exact human concentration of 91mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) body weight. (In otherwords, same as a human prescription.) Each marking on the syringe plunger delivers paste to treat 250 lb body weight. However, in my case (and that of my son because he took his first dose today) neither of us weigh exactly 250 lbs. I'm under 250, and he's almost 300. So, we counted the ticks on the syringe and we estimated that each tick represents paste to treat 42 lbs of body weight. After researching more re the drug, I currently would not be afraid even if I took the 250 lb quantity (although I think it would be wasteful if it's not necessary).
Make sure you look up the drug interactions on drugs[dot]com or other source and make sure you're not taking any other meds that would interfere with it (aka cause a reaction.) For example, I saw a list of a lot of interactions with allergy medicine. So, if you have allergies and if you needed to take it, I'd find out how long the half life is of the allergy medicine I'm on is, then stop it, then dose myself with the ivermectin and stay off my allergy meds until my ivermectin treatment was completed. (Info from another poster states –to remember ivermectin has a half life of 12-36 hours in the body after you take it. That's why if you're taking several doses they are spaced apart– day 1, 48 hours later, day 7, 1x per week for 4 weeks, then 1x per month)
Do you know the weight to dosage ratio?
