The number of doses in a tube varies according to your weight and whether it is for prevention, or treatment and whether you need extra for the treatment.
The 6.08g tube is for 1250 lb horse. There is 25 notches (50lb per notch).
113.7 mg per tube divided by 25 notches = 4.548 mg/notch
In my calculations, I simply used 4.5mg for simplicity.
The calculation to get 113.7 mg is correct (rounded also)
6080 x 1.87% = 113.696
So in the tube of paste, less than 2% is Ivermectin. The rest of the 98+% is filler. Understand?

Ok I see how they got that calculation.
I thought the pills were 100% iver and since the paste was only 1.87%, that there needed to be a factor of 1.00/1.87 or 53.5 in there somewhere.
What percentage of iver is in the pills; the package doesn’t say, it just has 3mg qty 60.
