  • Dosage

    Horsemectin 1.87% Oral Paste for Horses is administered orally at a single dose rate of 200 µg/kg of bodyweight. One syringe division of paste should be administered per 100 kg bodyweight (based on the recommended dosage of 200 µg/kg).
    - Each syringe delivers 140 mg ivermectin, sufficient to treat 700kg of bodyweight.
    - The tip of the syringe barrel should be inserted at the interdental space (the gap between the front and back teeth).
    - The horse’s head should be raised for a few seconds after dosing.
    - Horses’ weight should be accurately determined for the correct use of the paste.
    - The animal’s mouth should be free of food to ensure swallowing.
    - For best results all horses in a yard or grazing together should be included in a regular parasite control programme and treated at the same time.
    - All horses should be included in a regular parasite control programme, with particular attention being paid to mares, foals and yearlings.
    - Foals should be treated initially at 6-8 weeks of age and routine treatment repeated as appropriate.
    - Retreatment should be carried out according to the epidemiological situation, but not less than at a 30 day interval.
    - Do not use the same syringe to treat more than one animal unless horses are running together or in direct contact with each other on the same premises.
    - As with all anthelmintics, a veterinary surgeon should establish appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control and reduce the likelihood of anthelmintic resistance developing.
