Mercks data sheet (pg 4) does specifically say STROMECTOL should be taken on an empty stomach with water.but you will be absorbing the minimum amount. If you take it with a meal you can absorb 2.5 times as much Ivermectin than if if you took it on an empty stomach.
I think the horse paste comes in tubes too doesn't it?
