How much of that paste would equal a 3 mg pill?
I do have that brand but not apple flavored.

Read the insert. The notches on the plunger = so much in body weight. The brand’s can differ. Just make sure it’s Ivermectin with no other drug added.

It depends on the concentration of the paste.

The apple flavored tubes are about 6.1 grams at 1.87% concentration. Durvet says about 1 gram per 200 pounds of body weight. The apple flavored comes in a tube with a plunger that dispenses about 1 gram per click (equivalent to about 19 mg Ivermectin).

Durvet says for use in horses only. Dogs take Ivermectin too; it's in Heartguard.

For the horse paste, the PREVENTIVE dose for a person is exactly the same as the standard dose for a horse (0.2 mg/kg ≈ 0.09 mg/lb).

The paste dispenser looks like a syringe, but there is no needle. The plunger is also a measuring stick, and the numbers represent how much the horse weighs in pounds. It is 50-lb for each notch on the plunger. So a 200-lb horse (or a 200-lb person) would use four 50-lb notches on the plunger to dispense a standard preventive dose.

Measurement does not have to be exact. Round up to the next 50-lb increment. So if you weigh 220 lb, round up to 250 lb and use five 50-lb notches.
