- Veliladon 5y agoThis. You can't buy Ivermectin off the shelf except in animal preparations.
- eth0up 5y agoI've seen so much on this subject here lately, I cannot resist asking the following question: If there's really such an altruistic, humanitarian concern, why not disclose the actual differences between the veterinary and human variety rather than vaguely implying possible absorption issues. The difference of a 1200lb beast vs 160lb human is a bit too easy. The ingredients, however, might offer a clue. Also, as I understand, ivermectin is more commonly used as a cat (and sometimes dog) medicine, ie Revolution, that is, if cats outnumber domestic horses. I wonder if the cute-factor of people using catpaste would reduce the outrage.
- MattGaiser 5y agoIvermectin seems to be prescription for pets and over the counter only for livestock. So if you are using cat ivermectin, you need a prescription too. https://news.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=210&catId=-1&id=6018472 https://news.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=210&catId=-1&id=601847... Not sure on the specific differences of horse vs human ivermectin.
