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.
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.
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.
