Dose concentration bothered me. This story is old news. We bought and wormed (1 mule, 2 horses). I looked into it. In an emergency maybe. Mean time, zinc/D/Quercetin is my go to daily. Ain’t heard of a horse testing positive yet though. :)

“What’s so hard about dividing by 10???”

I read up on the dosage recommendations in India, and this is what I can tell for people who are NOT yet infected (as always, I am NOT a doctor):

1: Dosage is 12 mg (keep in mind that people are much lighter there, so 12 mg might be low here).
2: If you think you had contact with an infected person, then take a Day 1 dose, followed by a Day 7 dose.
3: If you work in healthcare, do the same as above, then follow with a Day 30 dose. Continue every 30 days if your work keeps you at risk of infected people.

The equine version is a tube with about 114 mg in it, by my calculation. For a human wanting 12 mg, the tube is good for 9.5 doses (again, at 12 mg per dose).

So far I haven’t been able to ascertain the risk regarding a human taking the proper amount of the equine version, but if there is a risk, I’d like to know.

Again, do your own homework, and don’t take this medicine without a doctor telling you it’s ok.

You ever try cutting your pills in half? That's hard enough as it is. Now try cutting one into tenths!
