Depends on what you want to pay, and if you can find a doctor that will prescribe it and a pharmacy that will fill it.
From what I have heard you can get it through Frontline doctos, but the consult and prescription is going to run you around $300. The dose of the prescription pill is one 3mg tablet per day.
Or you can get it at the farm supply / feed stores in your area over the counter without a prescription for now. You can bet they will be working on stopping that source.
The horse paste is around $8 per tube. The dose is your weight prorated to the amout of the horse dose. The whole tube is for a 1250 horse.
The cattle injectible is about $30 for the 50ml bottle, $60 for the 250ml bottle, and $90 for the 500 mb bottle. The dose of injectible (to be taken orally) is 1cc per 110 lbs of body weight.
If you can get your pharmacy to get the prescription transferred from their pharmacy, your insurance should cover it. My copay was about $5.
Since you mentioned dosage by weight, I thought I would give you this link with has dosage by weight scale.
Body weight
70–90 lb - 32–40 kg / 8 mg (3 tablets = 9 mg)
91–110 lb - 41–50 kg / 10 mg (3.5 tablets)
111–130 lb - 51–59 kg / 12 mg (4 tablets)
131–150 lb - 60–68 kg / 13.5 mg (4.5 tablets)
151–170 lb - 69–77 kg / 15 mg (5 tablets)
171–190 lb - 78–86 kg / 16 mg (5.5 tablets)
191–210 lb - 87–95 kg / 18 mg (6 tablets)
211–230 lb - 96–104 kg / 20 mg (7 tablets = 21 mg)
231–250 lb - 105–113 kg / 22 mg (7.5 tablets=22.5 mg)
251–270 lb - 114–122 kg / 24 mg (8 tablets)
271–290 lb - 123–131 kg / 26 mg (9 tablets = 27 mg)
291–310 lb - 132–140 kg / 28 mg (9.5 tablets=28.5 mg)"
I don't know where you got that but the dosages seem to high. I have seen the tablets dosages as one 3mg tablet per day.
I obviously got it at the precise link indicated in the URL. How I came by it is quite another question. Note that I am not attesting to it's accuracy. But I have no reason to doubt it either. The general rule applies here, as to all other topics, "Question everything, and do your own research."
