My neighbor has a small “horse” and his family that seems to be wormy. Does anyone have a recommendation on how much ivermectin he should give them daily?

That guy from Qcult over on reddit was saying the paste has other ingredients besides just the ivermectin. I wonder how much it varies brand from brand. Do you know anything about that? Or the added ingredients? Also, another poster was saying you don't even have to ingest it, you can rub it into your skin and it's supposed to be just as effective. Do you know if that's true? That would seem a far more 'palatable' way of using it if one felt forced into using it. Thanks.
I have horses. I also have Durvet 1.87% ivermectin on hand. The box lists only the ivermectin and no other ingredients.
The guy you mention who's saying that the horse de-wormer contains other ingredients is the third such I've seen in the past week. I challenged one of those I saw to tell me where he was getting all his inside information and his response was that he was giving up on trying to convince people he was correct.
My sister knows a guy who rubbed the horse paste on his hands. She said it took him 3 weeks to get rid of the virus. Another poster here said hands is not the best place to put it because of handwashing, and recommended inner thighs.
Theres a version that's a combo drug. Dont take that one.You just want the Ivermectin 1.87 % . Any other ingredients are flavorings and carriers and is inert.
You absolutely need to ingest it. There is a "pour over" version that's topical. Don't go near that.
The correct product is just as safe as what you would get in tablet form.
The taste is not bad, especially given this isn't taken routinely on a schedule.
Thanks. I've seen a version that had another ingredient, as you say .. something with a p like paracudemol. Haha, I'm sure I butchered that word. And I appreciate that you clarified about the other ingredients. It's good to know the flavoring and anything other than that P word don't matter.
I remember looking at the boxes at the farm store and seeing some brands that had that P ingredient and others that just said, Ivermectin 1.87% and also said, Anthlmintic and Boticide. I suppose those are the brands you are referring to.
Someone on the board claimed to know a man using it by thoroughly rubbing the correct dose into his hands. Said he was doing great. Someone else in the thread chimed in and said it could also be rubbed into the skin around the navel as it supposedly aborbs into the body just as well. If it worked that way, I think a lot of people might be less hesitant to use it. But it's good to have a pharmacist confirm or clarify all this. If the media and government and even some of the supposed 'health care' agencies weren't making it so hard on doctors and pharmacists to dispense it, we wouldn't even be in this situation. Thanks again, FC.
