Ivermectin Dosage Instructions for Horses

legitimate box of ivermectin. It has this tube

here, has a plunger with weight markings.

It's set to treat up to 1,250 pounds, and it

has this dosage ring here. So basically what you do

if you're brand new

to it, is you slide this up to the top.

Um, you're gonna twist clockwise and get it to fit right into

that top notch, and then pop the cap off, and then you can kinda

bottom this product out. A little bit of excess will come out,

but it's basically

at zero now.

Now, every,

um, time you twist to the left and bring it down one notch

and t- and then turn it back and to the right to lock it in place,

that's 50 pounds.

So that would be 100. 150,

for example. So it's just going up through the notches

to get up to

1,250 pounds. So there's 25 spacers here that

you can use, and basically once you get it to where you

want it,

say 150 pounds worth, you would just

push the plunger, and there is your ivermectin.

So, let's go through

what all these numbers mean. W- when you're new to this, the 1.87%, it, it

all seems a little confusing, but it's really easy.

Break it down for you right here.

Now, we have ivermectin here in the box as we

already

showed. We have the 1.87%, and

then the total box is 6.08 grams.

So basically what all of this means is that we have 0.0187

grams of ivermectin per gram of the paste.

And if we wanna convert that over to milligrams,

we move the decimal, we're gonna

have 18.7 milligrams of ivermectin per gram

of paste.

Since there are 6.08 grams of paste in the

tube,

we multiply that by the 18.7 milligrams per gram of paste, and

we're gonna get a total of 113.7 milligrams

of ivermectin per tube. So in this tube, there are

100 and th- 113.7 milligrams of

ivermectin. Now, we already discussed that this tube is set to

treat 1,250 pounds of weight for your horse,

so, and there are 25 increments of 50 pounds

each, basically.

So if we take the total amount of ivermectin, which

is 113.7 milligrams, and we divide it by the

25 increments, each increment is going to give us

4.55 milligrams of ivermectin.

So a common, for instance, for people, a common,

um,

pill of ivermectin will be 12 milligrams.

That would basically be 150 pounds or three notches

on the tube. And

just to show you what that looks like,

pop this off.

It's gonna be about that much. Now, a pencil eraser

is going to be

that size.

So just keep that in mind.

So let's get on to calculating a dosage for a protocol that

your horse or your mini horse might want to be on, and I have-
