I’ve hear this mentioned several times here on FR and I’ve wondered about a few things...
- Not that they won’t give it to a customer but do they ever ask “so how many horses do you have?” or something to that effect...
- I’m assuming that there must be a real run on this product... are they mentioning anything about shortages or does TSC always seem to have plenty of stock?
- On a different matter, do you know what the shelf life is for ivermectin? I wanted to have some handy just in case I needed some on short notice and and my doctor wouldn’t write a prescription for me....
I’ve never been asked about having horses. It’s perfectly legal to buy and the store couldn’t care less if you’re buying it for yourself.
The expiration date on my new box is February 2023.
We keep the tube type, in our barn, and I had grabbed a couple of boxes, before we had the Rx (pills) version....
Looks like it lasts (if you go by their expiration date) about two years.
the REAL problem with 1.8% ivermectin horse-paste is that NONE of the manufacturers specify what the other 98.2% ingredients are, and there are zero standards about what other ingredients may or may not be included ...
No questions asked at my TSC. They have plenty on hand. They do keep the Ivermectin locked in a glass case with other medicines. There are signs on the case saying the CDC and FDA does not recognize Ivermectin yadayadayada...
Lots of horses around here so no one bats an eye.
According the expiration date it looks like the shelf life is good for two years.
