Just call up a vet and ask him how much of the paste you would give to a 190 pound dog.
Thats a really good answer.
Just determine the mg of drug you need... Use the mg per gm of product and your weight. Hell, use the pour on version .. normally for sheep and cows.. works just as well with skin adsorption (topical) as it does for absorption ( eating it). (Yes, I have done both to good results)
Not in UK US here. Doc prescribed Ivermectin to my mother in law. The script was like $80 but got it.
The standard IVM tablet that is handed out around the world for parasite control is 12mg.
I weigh about 160 lb, and if i calculate my dose by weight, it would be around 14mg.
If I were to decide to take IVM horse paste for example ;-), the dispensing tube is graduated in 125 lb increments,
so I would take the 125 lb dose and call it close enough.
You can find the horse medication on eBay and other sites. I'm not a fan of Amazon for anything.
I bought some from india online that is due to arrive in the next week or 2. Not going to lie it seems sketch but i will let you know if it arrives and provide the link to place i used. It was also far more expensive than your paste at like 70 quid for 50 tablets (i think thats what ive got coming anyway).
Those drugs made in India can be very sketchy. The israeli Teva manufactures lots of generics in India and I remember many articles about the questionable quality of those drugs, like having inconsistent doses of the drug in each pill and so on. Here are a couple of articles:

Are you planning to take the poisonous effective dose, or a placebo one?
We had a large breed pup with sarcoptic mange. She was too young for conventional treatments. We researched and found ivermectin works on that kind of mange. When we researched dosage we found that we would have to give her more than 100 times the recommended dosage to hurt her.
Too bad you ain't in USA....although Darknet might have sources for Brits. I never looked.
From the page of the PHARMAQ (which is currently unavailable):
>The 1% concentration means that just one drop will be required for every 500g (1.5 lb) bodyweight.
Durvet brand IVM and all the other brands I've seen is 1.87%. The 125 lb dose is similar to the amount of toothpaste you would apply to your toothbrush. Not arguing with you, but the calculation seems off.
i agree with the blob size.. think large blueberry size
No worries, man. I was just quoting from the link he provided. I think "one drop" is really subjective.
If Ivermectin is not available, then definitely stock up on D3, C, Quercetin, Zinc and aspirin for daily use if/when you get covid. If you are relatively healthy and under 65 (or so), then you will most likely be fine. If you get it you might get really uncomfortable for 1.5 to 2 weeks, but it is usually older people with other issues, or younger people with other health issues that die.
Yes I have all the vitamins already, I'll check for Quercetin and definitely purchase some zinc and aspirin.
i wanted 20-25mg of ivermectin paste here is 1.85% So easy math i used 2%
1 gram of paste should be about right
ld50 for this paste is over 2 full tubes.. so there is absolutely no risk.
Ivermectin is Ivermectin.. drug doesnt change just because they print a bird on the box. Just do the correct math for what you want. I would duckduckgo animal feed stores for ivermectin in your area.. Amazon doesnt have much
