Difference between animal ivermectin and human?

Is it just quality control? I realize the dosage per gram is different, but if the dosage is matched to kg, is the formulation any different?

I don’t care. Better than being dead.

IMO no. Smorgasmic makes a good point about the purity -- but AFAIK there's no evidence that the horse paste is impure. Some race horses are worth a million bucks. Durvet isn't making giant money selling horse paste at $7 per tube. I seriously doubt they would risk the lawsuit brought by the owner of the deceased million-dollar race horse by being casual about the ingredients or quality control.

There are a number of us on the sub using the horse paste. I have since May with no problems. There's a post to the sub where about 30 people using the horse paste (usually to treat scabies) state in reviews that it worked. None of them cited any problems.

Amazon has removed those comments to discourage people from using the horse paste - but the links I captured still work. Let me know if you want the link to the post with ~30 Amazon comments.

I'll take the links to the Amazon comments. I was trying to find them the other day and realized they seem to have been removed.

I'm glad I updated it a month ago.

If you follow the links, please let me know if any of them don't work. I only tried one to find out if they still work.

It's going to be about the level of purity. So a human medicine will be a pharmaceutical grade, no binders or fillers and 99.9%+ pure. A human food product will usually be food grade, which means the ingredients are FDA approved. An animal product is "feed grade" which means it could contain all kinds of impurities. That might include heavy metals. If it is a pet food, it can be made from dying or diseased animals that would never be allowed in a human food.

It would help to know what is in the durvet horse paste product in the inactive ingredients, but their data sheet makes those things "proprietary".

You can call them.
