Rottermectin Paste is administered orally at the recommended dose rate of 0.2 mg/kg bodyweight.
Each applicator, containing 6.42 g of paste, delivers 120 mg ivermectin, which is sufficient to
treat 600 kg of bodyweight.
Make sure the horse’s mouth contains no feed. Insert the syringe into the horse’s mouth at the
interdental space. Deposit the medication on the base of the tongue. Lift up the horse’s head for
a few seconds immediately after application.
– For meat: 21 days.
Some horses carrying heavy infections of Onchocerca microfilariae have experienced oedema
and pruritus after administration, probably caused by the death of large numbers of microfilariae.
These signs resolve within a few days, but symptomatic treatment may be recommendable.
