One syringe division of paste per 100kg body weight (based on a recommended dosage of 200 μg ivermectin per kg body weight).
The paste is given by oral route.
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
The animal’s mouth should be free from food to ensure swallowing.
Turn the screw gauge on the syringe plunger to the body weight of the horse.
The tip of the syringe barrel should be inserted at the interdental space (the gap between the front and back teeth) and the paste deposited on the base of the tongue.
Advance the plunger as far as it will go, depositing the medication on the base of the tongue.
Immediately elevate the horse’s head for a few seconds to ensure swallowing.
Some horses with heavy infections of Onchocerca spp. microfilariae have experienced oedema and pruritus following treatment, such reactions are assumed to be the result of death of large numbers of microfilariae. These signs resolve within a few days but symptomatic treatment may be advisable.
Resistance to ivermectin has been reported in Parascaris equorum. Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local farm epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
Since ivermectin is highly bound to plasma proteins, special care should be taken in cases of sick animals or in nutritional conditions associated with low plasma protein levels.
