Administration and dosage

• Ivermectin Paste syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight.

• While holding plunger, turn the knurled ring on the plunger 1/4 turn to the left and slide it so the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking.

• Lock the ring in place by making a 1/4 turn to the right.

• Make sure that the horse’s mouth contains no feed.

• Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe.

• Insert the syringe tip into the horse’s mouth at the space between the teeth.

• Depress the plunger as far as it will go, depositing paste on the back of the tongue.

• Immediately raise the horse’s head for a few seconds after dosing.
