How does Bimectin Paste work?
Bimectin Paste contains the active ingredient, ivermectin, which kills important internal parasites, including bots and the arterial stages of strongyles with a single dose. It is a potent antiparasitic agent that is neither a benzimidazole nor an organophosphate
Cautions:
Avoid contact with the eyes. Bimectin Paste is for use in horses only. Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with Bimectin Paste have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm. These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Consult your veterinarian should any such reactions occur. Healing of summer sores involving extensive tissue changes may require other appropriate therapy in conjunction with Bimectin Paste
Bimectin Paste Directions:
- One syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1,250 lb horse at the recommended dose of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb body weight.
- Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lbs body weight.
- While holding the 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.
- Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe.
- Insert the syringe tip into your horse's mouth at the space between the teeth.
- Depress the plunger as far as it will go, depositing the paste on the back of the tongue.
- Immediately raise your horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.
Make sure your horse's mouth contains no feed.
