My take: It's confusing because the dosage is in cc/ml, and the tablets are in mg/ml. Centigrams and milligrams. You need to move the decimal point on the dosage chart. For every 100 lbs, you need 227.3, or about one tablet. The big fella is 250, I'm thinking the 'dukester needs about 2 1/2 tablets -- and maybe a diet.
CC stands for 'cubic centimeter', not 'centigrams'.
Since 1 CC = 1 ml, the chart is saying that the units for the dose are either CC OR ml (which are equivalent), not CC PER ml.
The concentration of the drug is listed as mg PER ml, so in this case there is 100 mg of drug in each 1 ml of liquid. The chart then tells you that a 100 pound dog (the highest weight the chart shows) should receive 22.73 milliliters, or in other words, 22.73 cubic centimeters of the liquid formulation.
Dang. That’s a helluva dog. Metrics is usually a riddle for me, too, but what I think that you need here is actually a conversion to milligram chart bc the chart gives conversion to milliliters.
Still,
The highest weight on the chart is 100lbs and dosage is 22.73 millimeters. (ml) So we double that and half again:
22.73 ml + 22.73 + 11.36 = 56.82 milliliters dosage for 250 pound Doggo.
The question, then, is what is the ratio of 56.82 milliliters to 222 mg?
Better yet…
Why does the product give you conversion in milliliters when the tablets are weighed/measured in milligrams?
The only reason this is hard is because the chart is volumetric instead of weight, was the chart for a liquid version of the drug? BTW 1 cc = 1 mL, that cc/mL is just needlessly confusing for many people since it could mislead one into thinking that's a ratio. At the top it does list 100mg/mL which would be the density of the drug in liquid form which makes me more sure it's a chart for liquid not pills.
Oxfendazole, a major metabolite of fenbendazole, is well tolerated in humans. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I study conducted in 70 healthy participants evaluated multiple ascending oral doses of oxfendazole, from 0.5 to 60 mg/kg. The dose study found acceptable safety and tolerability profiles, even after 5 repeated daily doses of up to 15 mg/kg. This clinical trial also characterized the disposition of fenbendazole, describing the drug as a one-compartment model with formation rate-limited elimination
Well.... if I look at the chart and I had a dog that tipped the scales at 250lbs? That dog is going on a diet!!!
So... take 25 lbs 5.68cc/ml and multiply it by 10
250, 56.8 cc/ml @ 100cc/ml.. 100÷56.8 = 1.76~2 pills.
cc/ml is NOT a ratio, and cc is NOT a measurement of mass. The chart is saying that the units are either cc OR ml, not cc PER ml. cc stands for 'cubic centimeter', and refers to exactly the same volume as ml (milliliter) does.
1 cc = 1 ml
The concentration of the drug is listed in a format of mass/volume, or mg/ml. In this case the concentration is 100 mg of drug per 1 ml of volume.
For 250 pounds It would be about 56 ml with the table showing 22.73 ml for 100 pounds. At 100mg/ml this would be 5,600 mg total. I get 5600mg/222mg per pill = 25 pills. Someone check me on this. (1ml=1cc)
I take the 222 mg capsules prophylactically and I weigh 180. If you’re not taking it for cancer, you’re not supposed to take it for more than three times a week, because it’s supposed to alter your liver enzymes. However, if you’re doing a true parasite, cleanse, I think seven days is feasible. Stop taking it again for a couple weeks and then do another weeklong parasite cleanse.

Chemist… this is correct. Wishing the best for your big puppy! ❤️😉

His name is Marmaduke 😁
And here I was, thinking the dog must be big and red and named Clifford.
Should change it to Farley! 😁
… or The Niño
Truth
Isn't mg the unit of measure provided at the top?

Brilliant, thx, I was searching for something like this for the dog worming...
Thanks for posting this. Here's the dosage calculator for IVM in case someone is searching for either - scroll down. https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin/

Yes, Fenbendazole for animals is usually formulated as a liquid. This chart is for a liquid formulation of the drug, not for pills.
2.5 right?
Use the 25 pound dose x 10
Thx... I'm not great at mgs. Took me 10 minutes to figure it out. Sad.

I’m confused…
Did you say your husband’s dog, is a miniature Maltipu?
I’m thinking your husband weighs 250lbs, and is about to get, 2 1/2 pills with his breakfast.
ROTGLMAO! 😎 🇺🇸
You can also get paste horse wormer fenben, Panacur. It is probably a notched dispenser as is ivermectin. One notch per whatever increment of weight.
Someone forwarded this site to me.

I know you are being sarcastic but its 22.73 cc/ml x 2.5 = 56.825 cc/ml just in case.
Oh yea! Duh, missed that. But does that mean mg/ml are the same except one is dry and one is wet?
No.
Milligrams (mg) are a unit of MASS.
Milliliters (ml) are a unit of VOLUME.
The chart is NOT saying that mg and ml are the same. The chart is telling you that there are 100 mg (mass) of drug in each 1 ml (volume) of liquid.
🧐🤔 Thank you, makes sense. But I’m gonna have to ponder that. Slow learner. 🫠
Are we still playing this game here? Did we ever need to?
It's just kinda fun at this point... veterinary care is important

Correct.
I suspect it might be a Husband.

If you’re not taking it for cancer, you’re not supposed to take it for more than three times a week, because it’s supposed to alter your liver enzymes. However, if you’re doing a true parasite, cleanse, I think seven days is feasible. Stop taking it again for a couple weeks and then do another weeklong parasite cleanse.
For parasites, every day for 3 days then every other day for 4 more, I think. Then 3 weeks repeat... ??
👏👏👏 Thanks for the update. I’ll put it in my thread. Appreciate this info.
Thx, all, for working on this word problem with me... pretty sure we would all pass... any worms hopefully
