I don't know where you are so name brand is ??. Read the ingredients on the packaging. Active ingredients should be only Ivermectin. Many brands try to use other ingredients. Dosage is per kilo where I am, so some math involved.
Dr Zelenko states 0.4-0.5mg/kg/day for 5-7 days. The strength of the paste should be on the package. So, for a 5mg/ml paste, 1 ml is enough for 10kg of bodywiegtht.
The last horsepaste dose I took was marked on the tube in clicks. One click was enough for fifty kilos. If you think in pounds, multioply by 2.2. So one click is enough for 110 pounds.
Thanks for the info, I'm in Ohio and am kinda at a loss with metric system... I know, I know, its all in the math... I'm guessing Tractor Supply, Farm & Fleet or Rural King would carry it... My doctor said NO WAY is he writing a script for it...
Doctor covering his donor arse and possibly income. Note for glowies: I am not a doctor, and I am not selling anything here. Yes tractor supply or vet. The paste is palatable enough, just follow the instruction on the packet. Compare yourself to the weight of a horse and take a fraction of the dose accordingly. It doesn't matter if you are out by few lbs. You'll soon get the hang of it because the dispenser is divided into 50kg doses (enough for a 110 lb foal).
Also if there is no paste because a herd of pepes have been trough the supply, check out the ivermectin/isopropyl drench. Very economical, after the outlay for 1/2 gallon that has approximately 1000 doses: just rub one teaspoon or so on skin. (This depending on strength, some math involved to get exact millilitre dose, but one teaspoon=5 ml so at 5 mcg/ml strength you are getting a 25 mcg dose, which is enough for a 50kg person (110 pounds). In other words - one teaspoon of topical drench is a dose for a 110lb foal. Multiply it out from there to customise).
I am pondering the African/and or poultry farmer protocols for prophylaxis through weekly single doses of IVM, at the moment: more research needed.
BTW, don't drink that drench liquid. the dosage for the isopropyl is similar to using a dose of hand sanitiser. Apparently very relieving on injecton site, god forbid.
