DOSAGE
SparMectin-E Liquid for Horses is formulated for administration by stomach tube (nasogastric intubation) or as an oral drench. The recommended dose is 91 mcg of ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) of body weight. Each mL contains sufficient ivermectin to treat 110 lb (50 kg) of body weight: 10 mL will treat an 1100 lb (500 Kg) horse.
ADMINISTRATION
Use a calibrated dosing syringe inserted into the bottle of measure the appropriate dose, or pour the SparMectin-E Liquid into a graduated cylinder for dose measurement. Use a clean syringe if accessing the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining product.
Special consideration should be given to effects of potential for injury from handling, restraint, and placement of the stomach tube during administration of SparMectin-E Liquid. SparMectin-E Liquid should be administered by drench if the risks associated with tubing are of concern. Due to the potential consequences of improper administration, SparMectin-E Liquid is intended for use by a veterinarian only and is not recommended for dispensing.
SparMectin-E Liquid in 1 to 20 and 1 to 40 dilutions with tap water has been shown to be stable for 72 hours under the conditions recommended for the product (i.e., at room temperature, in a tightly closed container, protected from light). The diluted product does not promote the growth of common organisms. However, prolonged storage of the diluted product cannot be recommended, as the effects of possible contaminations and interactions with untested materials are unknown.
Administration by stomach tube (gravity or positive flow): The recommended dose can be used undiluted or diluted up to 40 times with clean tepid water. Use tepid water to flush any drug remaining in the tube into the horse's stomach.
Administration by drench: For administration of SparMectin-E by drench, an undiluted dose is recommended. Clear the horse's mouth of any food material, elevate the horse's head, and using a syringe, deposit the appropriated dose in the back of the mouth. In order to avoid unnecessary coughing or the potential for material to enter the trachea and lungs, do not use excessive pressure (squirting), do not use a large (diluted) dose volume, and do not deposit the dose in the laryngeal area. Increased dose rejection may occur if the dose is deposited in the buccal space. Keep horse's head elevated and observe the horse to insure the dose is retained.
