Dosage and administration
Oral use.
Posology:
A single administration of 200 µg ivermectin per kg of bodyweight.
Each syringe division mark plunger delivers enough paste to treat 100 kg of bodyweight
(which corresponds to 1.07 g of veterinary medicinal product and 20 mg of ivermectin).
The syringe containing 6.42 g of paste delivers sufficient paste to treat 600 kg of bodyweight at the recommended dose range.
The syringe containing 7.49 g of paste delivers sufficient paste to treat 700 kg of bodyweight at the recommended dose range.
Directions for use:
Before the first administration, the syringe must be primed. Place the ring on the first graduation mark and remove the first portion of paste by pressing the plunger. Dispose of the first portion of paste in line with the instructions in section 'Disposal'. The syringe is then ready for use.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
The animal's mouth should be free of food. The syringe must be positioned between the front and back teeth and the paste must be placed on the base of the horse’s tongue. Immediately elevate the head of the horse for a few seconds to ensure deglutition.
Re-treatment should be done according to the epidemiological situation, but not at less than 30 days interval.
