Dosage and Administration

• Each syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1320-lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) of body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lbs (114 kg) of body weight.
• While holding plunger, turn the knurled ring on the plunger 1/4 turn to the left and slide it so the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking. Lock the ring in place by making a 1/4 turn to the right. Make sure that horse's mouth contains no feed. Remove cover from tip of syringe. Insert syringe tip into horse's mouth at the space between the teeth. Depress plunger as far as it will go, depositing paste on the back of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.

• Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children.
