Is livestock ivermectin the same as Stromectol 3 mg?

Bone review card, cobalt edge, lime chip: livestock paste boxed away from 3 mg tablets

No. Livestock paste is not Stromectol 3 mg. Apple-flavored horse tubes list mg per gram for a large animal. They do not convert to human 3 mg tablets. Accidental human exposure reports rash, edema, headache, dizziness, asthenia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea most often. Keep the tube. Call poison control. This board still locks 200 mcg/kg only after a clinician names intestinal strongyloidiasis. Panel.

Can a licensed 3 mg fill happen after a paste night?

Only after toxicology is done and a clinician names a human indication. Intestinal strongyloidiasis, if that is the job, still uses about 200 mcg/kg in 3 mg tablets. Paste residue is not a down payment on that integer.

BeSafeRx if the next offer is another animal carton: online check.

If paste already went down, what does the overdose block say to do?

Supportive care as needed: parenteral fluids and electrolytes, oxygen or ventilation if required, pressors for significant hypotension. Induction of emesis and/or gastric lavage as soon as possible, then purgatives and routine anti-poison measures, may be indicated to limit absorption.

That is an emergency paragraph. Geography essays wait. Loa talk waits. Travel history is a different morning.

What did human paste exposures actually report?

Most frequent: rash, edema, headache, dizziness, asthenia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Also reported: seizure, ataxia, dyspnea, abdominal pain, paresthesia, urticaria, contact dermatitis.

Route can be ingestion, inhalation, injection, or skin. Tell emergency the species product name. Do not 'finish the dose' with leftover human 3 mg.

What overdose animal numbers sit in the same file?

Significant lethality in mice and rats after single oral doses of 25 to 50 mg/kg and 40 to 50 mg/kg. No significant lethality in dogs after single oral doses up to 10 mg/kg. Signs included ataxia, bradypnea, tremors, ptosis, decreased activity, emesis, and mydriasis.

Those are animal overdoses, not a home conversion chart. Do not invert them into a 'safe paste smear.'

Where should a farm tube sit in a house that also has 3 mg tablets?

Not in the same cupboard as a human fill. Children reach. Veterinary intoxication includes contact dermatitis and ingestion.

A real 3 mg bottle stores below 30 C (86 F). Leftover human tablets are not a rainy-day paste substitute. Return or hold them under an ID plan.

Why does a kitchen scale fail as a converter?

Because the paste is a veterinary concentration written for a 500 kg animal, not a 70 kg person. Scaling 'to match 200 mcg/kg' is how people overdose. The human table is 3 mg integers, empty stomach, water.

FDA still tells consumers not to use ivermectin, including animal products, to treat or prevent COVID-19. Viral conversion fails twice. COVID scan.

Board thread

Answers follow the U.S. Stromectol label.

Kit P., Exhibition The tube says ivermectin. Why will a US window not fill from that photo?

Board reply

Because a farm photo is not a 3 mg prescription. A licensed fill needs a named human infection and kilograms. For this board that lock is about 200 mcg/kg for intestinal strongyloidiasis, in 3 mg tablets, not paste.

Rowan E., Port Lands Is livestock ivermectin the same as Stromectol 3 mg?

Board reply

No. Paste is a veterinary concentration. Human Stromectol is a 3 mg tablet. Do not convert with a kitchen scale. If paste went down, keep the tube and call poison control.

Sana M., Islington I already swallowed a smear. Take three human 3 mg tablets to even it out?

Board reply

No. Do not finish a paste exposure with leftover human tablets. Poison control first. Three 3 mg tablets is the 36 to 50 kg strongyloides band, not an antidote.
