Well, yes, but ... Horses have a primitive digestive system that is designed to consume vast amounts of low energy grass / hay / etc. Humans have a sophisticated digestive system that can process a very wide variety of food sources. I would not expect a dose based on body weight (of a horse) to be appropriate at all. By way of an anecdote, my g/f took 400 mg of ibuprofen recently (prescription strength), after surgery. It caused internal bleeding. Normal dosage ('over the counter') is closer to 200mg or less. So even something as innocuous as ibuprofen can do harm when the dose isn't right. I would carefully review the dose personally.
Again, the doses are based on body weight. It is quite simple really. You move the ring on the plunger to what you weigh and that is the dose. It is quite safe as well.
I have had horses for over 30 years and used many de-wormers, and the doses are all based on the weight of the horse. From 100 lb foals to 1000 lb adult mares and stallions (arabians). Measuring the doses for humans is NO different.
Ivermectin is approved for humans and other animals. Know your information.
