I don't think the Ivermectin dose suggested here is correct. The correct dose is .2-.4 mg/kg of body weight (200-400 mcg. per kilogram of body weight) for 3-5 days.
There are different sized tubes and different strengths, please everyone pay close attention.
I should have (and almost always do) link the ivermectin I am talking about. You can find it here (though it is commonly sold anywhere, and from what I have seen the amount is always the same for every brand).
Which, interestingly enough is what the box says (1 dose for a 1250 lb horse).
As for the schedule, that is for the vaccines, not the virus. It is based on the half life of ivermectin in plasma (17 hrs) v. the half life of the vaccine (2-3 days depending on brand). In truth though, its not overly important since Ivermectin is very well tolerated. You could probably take two whole tubes at once and be perfectly fine (though I DO NOT recommend doing so).
For the virus the schedule you suggested is fine because you want to make sure its in the blood at sufficient concentrations during the illness. Though really you should probably take it once every one and a half days for best effect v. accumulation of ivermectin in the plasma/liver (half life in liver is over two weeks).
Nevertheless, as I said its very well tolerated, so any variance or even doubling either schedule is nothing to worry about, though it would be against the tests that produced the positive results (not sure if those higher dosages were tested for Covid-19).

As for dosage:
mg/tube = 1.87% * 6.08 g * 1000 mg/g = 113.7 mg
dose/100 lbs = 0.2 mg/kg * 0.454 kg/lb * 100 lbs = 9.08 mg
dose / tube = 114 mg/tube / 9.08 mg/dose = 12.5 dose/tube (per 100 lbs)

Just get the syringes filed with it. The plunger is graduated down to 250lbs for a "horse". Tractor Supply has them in packs of one or 6.
