Covilife 1.87% Oral Paste for Horse (Ivermectin)

This product is used for the treatment and control of common horse parasites, including:

• Large strongyles
• Small strongyles
• Ascarids (roundworms)
• Pinworms
• Hairworms
• Large-mouth stomach worms
• Neck threadworms
• Lungworms
• Intestinal threadworms
• Bots

It is commonly used as part of a regular equine deworming program under veterinary guidance.

This product works by interfering with the nerve and muscle activity of susceptible parasites. Once the worms and bots are paralyzed, they lose their ability to survive in the horse’s body and are removed naturally. This helps reduce parasite burden and supports better digestive and overall health in horses.

• Use this product only for horses.
• Determine the horse’s current body weight before dosing.
• Set the syringe plunger to the correct weight marking.
• Place the syringe tip into the horse’s mouth at the space between the front and back teeth.
• Deposit the paste onto the back of the tongue.
• Raise the horse’s head briefly after dosing to help swallowing.
• Make sure the horse receives the full dose.
• Do not underdose, as this may reduce effectiveness and may contribute to parasite resistance.

Recommended Dose:
The usual dose is 200 mcg/kg body weight, which is also described as 91 mcg per pound of body weight. One full syringe commonly treats a horse weighing up to 1,250 lb, and each weight marking on the plunger generally delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight.

Missed Dose:
This product is not usually given on a daily schedule like regular tablets. If a planned deworming dose is missed, give it as soon as practical based on your veterinarian’s advice and the horse’s parasite control schedule.

Overdose:
Overdose may increase the risk of unwanted effects. If too much paste is given, contact a veterinarian promptly for guidance.
