My point is if you dose per your weight the math is already done at .2 gm/kg. Not all plungers are notched at 50# intervals...some are at 250# intervals. Just dose per your weight and that is the correct dose.
The notches are 3-4mg per notch, I never look at the numbers. Divide the total content by the amount of paste and you'll see. I never looked at the weight on the plunger, it's evenly distributed and works out to 3-4mg Ivermectin per notch.
Doubt me if you want, I don't rely on horse dosage vs human dosage pound for pound.
The notches on different brands of horse ivermectin are NOT uniformly set. Some brands have 5 notches that equals 250#. Others have 2 notches that equals 250#. How can each of these notches be equal to 3-4 mg of IVM?
By the way horse dosage AND human dosage is .2mg/kg...THE SAME...which is why you can just dose by weight.
The brand is ProMectin E Paste by Vedco. I bought it online from a horse supply warehouse. It is not the thick gel like the DuraMectin (which I have, have used, prefer and has 25 notches) but thinner white paste that has the consistency of the white cream in chocolate covered cherries. I personally am using this and sharing the DuraMectin which is easier to calculate by weight by notches. I did all the math before I took any and realized that the horse weight is equal to people weight for proper dosing. I figured out my dosing of pills or paste/gel and saw that it all equaled .2 mg/kg so I knew the easiest way to use paste/gel was just to dose according to weight. I have a 3rd brand, Zimectrin, which has 25 notches so that is probably the most common plunger BUT others do exist so we can't make a blanket statement each notch is 50# or 3-4 mg. IVM. You are correct in your calculations if there are 25 notches but not if there are only 10.

Which brand has 2 notches that equal 250 lbs lol. I used duramectin buy all I've seen have the same ridged plunger.
But maybe you're right.
