Ivermectin COVID-19 Dosing Breakdown

Kinda confused about the "notch and teeth" thing. Are they saying that a 250 pound person with "5 notch, 5 teeth = 1 measure" is taking effectively the entire plunger at the 1250lb dose, or a single 250lb dose which is approximately 5 of the little notches? Doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense.

The notches cited and the 1.87% are consistent with the Durvet Ivermectin horse paste dispenser. (The only one I have experience with.) The 250 pound divisions up to 1250 pounds are separated by 5 notches each, so each notch represents 50 pounds. Since Ivermectin is a very safe drug even at doses up to 10 times the recommended 200 µg/kg, except for animals under 25 pounds, I think trying to measure fractions of notches are meaningless in most cases.

Other brand delivery systems vary. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AexpeCn08n0

Thanks! I’d rather take a bit extra if I’m feeling ill and this puts my mind at ease.

I’m hoping someone else can chime in and clarify because I was confused as well...

I am finding this chart confusing. Could someone please explain much paste a 155 pound person would use? How often?

Hi! I'm shit at math, but also have no patience for the notches/teeth/"golly, that plunger is aggressive" situation I find myself in. :D Wondering if someone can check my work here, as I've got an mg scale that I'm hoping to use to weigh the paste more efficiently for my *ahem* horse.

Used the info on the Durvet Horse Paste: "this syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1250lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91mcg per lb."

So, 91mcg x 1250 = 113,750 mcg ...

which, converted = 113.75mg of ivermectin per tube.

Let's say the dose my micro-horse requires is the standard 12mg that seems to be getting kicked around these days.

113.75mg /12 = approx 9.48 doses per tube.

Each tube contains 6.08g of paste.

6.08g/9.48 doses = .64g per dose.

Soooo yer looking at .64g of paste from the tube for a 12mg dose of Ivermectin.

LORDT.

Hi, in my country we only have Ivermectin for animals. At home I do have a bottle of Ivermectin that is being used as an injection for pigs (liquid). I see that for my weigh approximately 59 kg I do have to take 1.2 ml? But what do I do with it? Do I put that 1.2 ml to the water and drink it? Or should I inject it to the muscles or to the veins??? No one is discussing this. Please help :) Thank you.

Don't inject it - if you're going to use it, swallow it.
