Asking for my "horse" as he is very I'll and would rather avoid Dr's. I would assume if he is between a 200-250 lb horse he would simply follow that dosing?
The confusion I'm having is all of info I can find about dosing refers to pills not the paste. Also, from what I've read its a one and done for a while or can you stack on doses? What I read say's toxicity builds up after repeated doses but wondering if propaganda to deter use.
Last point I'll make another fren had pointed out in a different thread both Pancur and Ivermectin are made by Merck...I must admit makes me a bit uneasy knowing this. Any recommendations on dosing would be greatly appreciated; thanks frens!
You don't want to take both at the same time...
Pick one. Ivermectin or Fenbendazole
Dose to your weight via the notches. Some do it once a day for 2 weeks, others do more.
Give your body/liver a break for two weeks to center.
Choose the other one and repeat step #2 for 2 weeks, as required.
The very first cycle will most likely be the most effective, since everyone has parasites and rarely treat them. Hot pepper and tobacco nuts are not going to see as much of a change as others because they're already deworming...
Fenbendazole eliminates many more parasite types than ivermectin. I'd start there.
I eat habanero sauce. Is that deworming?

“However, the effects of capsaicin on parasites have not been extensively studied.”
Oh well. I’m eating hot sauce anyways.
Strange i'm a big hot pepper guy so that makes sense. Ok; I got bad info as said only 1 application per month which sounded absurd. Good to know I can go for a about 2 weeks at dosing on notch. Thanks!
Monthly is the frequency for many animals maintenance...Heart worm for K9s is once a month for instance (ivermectin)
Essentially, the capsicum burns the living chit out of parasites and they retreat post haste...
Got it; just to be on the safe side for this it looks like I'm reading daily dose 2 weeks on 1 off etc.
But from what your saying that dose is a much more concentrated dose and thus once a month. Thank you!
Correct... once a month is typically a maintenance dose in animals. Dosage is important or they'll build up a tolerance.
Like in dogs...HeartGard is crap now and ineffective. Frontline works (for now) but is prescription only. Everything has a price as they say...
Please explain what a "notch" is, thanks.
NOTCH
Hmmm, ok, I didn't get one of those with my IVM purchase.
If you bought tablets...which aren't any different than the paste...obviously, no...you wouldn't have a plunger with notches on them.
However...ALL anti-parasitics in a tube made for farm animals, use the notched/plunger arrangement.
In case it's not clear....Tablets are no better than the paste available for cheap at your local farm store. Some feel better with tablets...and have the money to spend 10x for the same stuff.
The horse paste tubes are marked at 100kilo increments for weight of horse. I use one each notch represents 100kilo of weight. One tube is good for a 600kilo horse. I get 6 doses per tube. It looks like a big syringe. Does that help?
As I stated elsewhere, my tubes of IVM did not come with a syringe. I may have to resort to a different method to measure out smaller increments of paste. I don't have one of those small electronic scales, but I may buy one just for that purpose.
UNLESS, of course, I can find a properly calibrated syringe somewhere.
Does it indicate the dosage by weight for the full tube?
Exactly...that's how mine is except mine is in pounds not kilos
