Difference in ivermectin intended for humans vs animals? (Sorry x-post, I didn’t get an answer there)/r/medical/comments/jidqwh/difference_in_ivermectin_intended_for_humans_vs/
btw there's no such thing as a prophylactic dose
that's literally never been proven because it only has an 18 hour half life
not only is 10mg too little unless you are under 100 pounds, it's out of your system a day later
as far as animal safety, human pill manufacturing has ZERO supervision in the USA and produced elsewhere like India, the FDA has inspected factories in India like once or never, it's all self-reporting
so imaging what's going on with animal pills where there's even less liability than zero
it comes down to profit, what corners can they cut for more profit, I don't think there's many other than sanitary conditions

Do you mean the prophylactic dose is not known? In the IVERCAR 788 study, IIRC they took 12mg once a week. That's the trial where they did carrageenan nasal spray too, but one of the researchers said that in another protocol that left out the carrageenan, the results were similar.

(Ordinary) horses cost around $3000 to buy and a similar number annually to maintain. There's over 9 million horses in the US. To sell to that market, makers want to provide a quality product. If Durvet or another manufacturer of horse paste produced a bad batch, I think there would be lots of law suits.
It's less ideal but it's unlikely to permanently cause harm. It has the active ingredient but may have different binders and fillers, so I would prefer to take it instead of doing nothing at all.
Currently, I use the 1% bovine injectable. I already had that on hand as I use it with livestock and also cut it to use as heartworm preventative, always orally.1% makes it easy for me to figure doses. I have also taken a dose

Hi, Icy, can you please help me out? I bought a bottle of "AGRI-MECTIN injection for Cattle and Swine, 1% Sterile Solution" with the idea of using it with a nebulizer. Is that like your bovine injectable? How do you take it? With a syringe? How many ML do you take, for what weight?
The bottle has the guidance...
Recommended dose:
Cattle: 1 ML per 110 pounds
Swine: 1 ML per 75 pounds
For subcutaneous use only. Use automatic syringe only.
TrumpLyftAlles , yes the 1% injectable is the same. Ivomec is made by Merial, the bottle says made in Brazil. There are lots of other manufacturers. Key is always work with the 1% and it is easy to figure doses. There is a table here: COVID-19: POST-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS WITH IVERMECTIN IN CONTACTS. At Homes, Places of Work, Nursing Homes, Prisons, and Others,posted last week. Sorry- my first reddit post and not very savvy,lol.It is divided into pills and 1% solution, based on kg.

How about ivermectin tablets made by Beijing Agrichina? apparently it's for sheep and pigs. would you take it?
Ivomec is veterinary ivermectin. I don’t have any information on veterinary ivermectin tablets so can’t comment on that.

IMO: Same drug, different additional inactive ingredients.
From this post:
Thanks for the excellent question! It made me look up the Material Safety Data Sheet for the horse paste.
The other ingredients are pigment (< 5%), thickening agents (15%), and vehicle solvent (bal) (?). None of those have a classification as toxic or not. Ivermectin is "Toxic" in the ingredients list.
From here:
Ivermectin is a white to yellowish-white, nonhygroscopic, crystalline powder with a melting point of about 155°C. It is insoluble in water but is freely soluble in methanol and soluble in 95% ethanol. STROMECTOL is available in 3-mg tablets containing the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, magnesium stearate, butylated hydroxyanisole, and citric acid powder (anhydrous).
