    Ok, you won't listen to me, that's fine. But my information comes from Jim who is a vet, who had horses. He's very familiar with these medications. It's not a matter of inferior medication. Even in human medication, you shouldn't split pills that aren't scored for the same reason.

    Well, it is designed to be a split dose. The plunger is marked in 200 lb. increments so if the horse weighs 200 lb. you only push though that amount. The whole plunger is for a 1200 lb horse but that's not what a smaller horse would take.

    yep.

    I have to say, if I was really sick and could only get my hands on livestock penicillin, I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

    A horse can tolerate a dose greater than a person. You might be better off taking the dogs heart-worm medicine, at least you wouldn't be so over medicated. 🙄

    Actually it's the same dose as a human dose, it's based on weight.

    Adults and teenagers—Dose is based on body weight and must be determined by your doctor. The usual dose is 150 micrograms (mcg) per kilogram (kg) (68 mcg per pound) of body weight as a single dose. The treatment may be repeated every three to twelve months.

    Children—Dose is based on body weight and must be determined by your doctor. For children weighing 15 kg (33 pounds) or more, the usual dose is 150 mcg per kg (68 mcg per pound) of body weight as a single dose. If necessary, the treatment may be repeated every three to twelve months. For children weighing less than 15 kg, use and dose must be determined by your doctor.

    Just wanted to say that the people taking horse paste are not crazy as the media would have you believe. What is crazy, perhaps even criminal is that health care professionals have gone missing, refusing to treat sick people, telling them to shelter in place until their lips turn blue and then head for a hospital to be dosed with a genuinely dangerous drug (remdisivir), put into an induced coma and then be placed on a ventilator until they die.

    That's crazy and in my mind CRIMINAL.

    We have seen what big medicine and big pharma are all about. Yes, some good has come of pharmaceuticals, but overall, it's all about money and not about your overall health.

    We have seen governments even dictate to doctors what they can and cannot prescribe. This is ludicrous. We have seen what a government body of "experts", un-elected and unvetted by the people, has done. People are fed up, and they are finally learning about health, what works, what doesn't.

    Frankly I'm fed up. My ex-doctor wore a paper mask and insisted that I do so as well. All the while, we both know well they are not following any science, but a political system. My ex-doctor pushed the vax and REFUSED to even discuss natural immunity at all... even though I had had covid. It took some time, but I found a doctor who follows science, and not the political crap that is being pushed on unsuspecting patients. While it is nearly impossible to get ivermectin in Michigan, we have found ways to get it. Why? Because it works. A dear friend got covid; he has several comorbidities and his doctor told him to take ivermectin--if he could get it. (We had some to give.) He was hospitalized for a short time with "covid pneumonia" - but was out of hospital in a few days.

    I seriously don't know why I bother. Yes, the dose is based on weight, but the margin of error in dosing is much greater for a 2,000 pound horse than a 200 pound man. The medicine is NOT evenly distributed in the tube, it is not meant for human consumption. That is a fact and why I mentioned it. You all are gonna do what you're gonna do, but I will not have it on my conscience that I didn't try.

    I agree with you. If anything, this shows the danger of institutionalized medicine. Doctors and Pharmacists should have the autonomy to prescribe any safe and effective treatment they deem fit! Do you remember that they were saying that you should not take NSAIDS if you suspect you have COVID? Yet, now they say anti inflammatory medications are most effective? Like, HUH?
