Anybody done this yet? I didn't get the apple flavored stuff (didn't know it existed until i had already ordered it). I assume every notch implies 50 lbs since it's 5 notches for every 250 lbs. Should I have a chaser handy to wash it down? Help!

I just did this last weekend. (I am not a horse yet)
Just took the appropriate amount pound (on the marker) for pound (your weight). That should equate to 0.2mcg/kg, which is the recommended prophylactic dosage.
Be careful with your repeat regimen. The half-life isn’t as fast as other medications so you may need to wait 48-72 hours if you want to repeat.

I’m not a doctor either but from my understanding the half life is important. You need time to let your liver process this stuff or you’ll load up on too much. I my general consensus is it’s hard to overdose on ivermectin. But there is no sense being reckless about it. 48hour minimum if you take more than a dose is from what I have read as well. Wanted to throw this in as a reply to reassure people that there is truth out there for ivermectin. I’m currently on dose two at day 4. No side effects from it.
Same; the fact that you can treat b/t .2mg/kg and .6mg/kg, coupled with the fact that your body can absorb 1/2x-2x, depending on if you take w/ or w/o food means it's pretty forgiving.
