How to calculate dosage from equine ivermectin paste

I posted earlier that the dose I took was proportional to what a horse is given to get rid of worms. Since then I have joined a community Dr. Lee Merritt formed at the website “TheMedicalRebel,” where you can find answers to lots of questions about Covid. Dr. Merritt posted a protocol she likes (see attached file), but she mentions that there are quite a few out there. As part of her service for $8/mo, you can submit one question per week, and I asked her to confirm that my calculations were correct based on the protocol for 0.3mg/kg.
So, here it is:
Suppose I weigh 200 lbs. Since there are 2.2 lbs/kg, I divide 200 by 2.2 to get 90.9 kg. Since the protocol calls for 0.3mg/kg, I multiply 90.9 times 0.3 to get 27.3 mg of ivermectin needed for one dose.
Now, on to find out how many milligrams of ivermectin a tube of equine apple-flavored paste contains. The box says that the paste has 1.87% ivermectin, and that the tube weighs 6.08g. Convert 6.08 grams to milligrams by multiplying by 1000, or 6080 milligrams. 1.87% of the 6080 mg is ivermectin, or 0.0187(6080), which yields 113.7 mg of ivermectin per tube.
The 200 lb person needs a dose of 27.3 mg, so dividing 113.7 by 27.3 gives us 4.2 doses per tube. That’s a little over 4 doses per tube, which is super cheap!! I saw chewy was selling a tube for $4.99. Can you believe that? a buck and a quarter per dose.
Dr. Merritt confirmed that this is correct.

Thanks!

0.2mg/kg for preventative and double or triple for treatment.

Good to know I got my math right but I calculated for 0.2mg/kg and 0.4mg/kg. The same strength and tube size as the Apple flavored stuff and it worked out to be 1 horse pound = 1 human pound for the 0.2mg/kg dose and 2 horse pounds = 1 human pound for 0.4mg/kg.


Suppose I weigh 200 lbs. Since there are 2.2 lbs/kg, I divide 200 by 2.2 to get 90.9 kg. Since the protocol calls for 0.3mg/kg, I multiply 90.9 times 0.3 to get 27.3 mg of ivermectin needed for one dose. Now, on to find out how many milligrams of ivermectin a tube of equine apple-flavored paste contains. The box says that the paste has 1.87% ivermectin, and that the tube weighs 6.08g. Convert 6.08 grams to milligrams by multiplying by 1000, or 6080 milligrams. 1.87% of the 6080 mg is ivermectin, or 0.0187(6080), which yields 113.7 mg of ivermectin per tube. The 200 lb person needs a dose of 27.3 mg, so dividing 113.7 by 27.3 gives us 4.2 doses per tube. That’s a little over 4 doses per tube, which is super cheap!! I saw chewy was selling a tube for $4.99. Can you believe that? a buck and a quarter per dose. Dr. Merritt confirmed that this is correct.


His 200lb = 90.9kg x 0.2 = 18.18 and the 113.6/18.18 = 6.24 doses per tube. The tube does a 1250lb horse 1250/200lb = 6.25

At 0.4mg/kg, he'd dial in 400lbs and get 3ish doses per tube.

Since I happen to weigh 125lbs and most tubes will dose a 1250lb horse, the 1:1 pound ratio for preventative jumped right out at me. 10 doses per tube for me or 5 doses at the 0.4mg/kg. FLCCC also says a treatment course is 5 days so 1 tube will do for me. Kinda handy.

I really don't think I'll need it but I can use it for the goats or LGDs as a dewormer. My wife's been around co-workers who had covid and either she hasn't brought it home or we're immune. We haven't had a flu or cold in years. I hope all these stories doesn't make it so that you can only get ivermectin from a vet. I like to rotate dewormers so that the parasites are less apt to become resistant and that will be one less I'd have for the rotation or will triple the price and make it harder to find. All the local feed stores have it as of now.
