Dosage and Administration

GoldMectin LV Ivermectin Oral Paste for Horses is given orally at the recommended dose level of 1 mL/100 kg bodyweight. The dose of 1 mL/100 kg bodyweight delivers 0.2 mg/kg of IVERMECTIN and 1.5 mg/kg of PRAZIQUANTEL. The contents of this syringe will treat one horse at 700 kg bodyweight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver 1.07 g of paste which is sufficient to treat 100 kg bodyweight.

Insert the syringe into the side of the horse’s mouth in the gap between the front and back teeth. Advance the plunger as far as
it will go, press the plunger to the chosen dosage, depositing the medication on the rear of the tongue. Immediately raise the
horse’s head for a few seconds after dosing to ensure the full dose has been swallowed.
