(2) Lock the ring in place by making a 1/4 turn to the right. (3) Make sure that the horse's mouth contains no feed. (4) Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe. (5) Insert the syringe tip into the horse's mouth at the space between the teeth. (6) Depress the plunger as far as it will go, depositing paste on the back of the tongue. (7) Immediately raise the horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.

INFORMATION FOR OWNERS/CAREGIVERS
INFORMATION FOR HORSE OWNERS: Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with Ivermectin Paste have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm microfilariae (Onchocerca sp.) . These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Consult your veterinarian should any such reactions occur. Healing of summer sores involving extensive tissue changes may require other appropriate therapy in conjunction with treatment with Ivermectin Paste. Reinfection, and measures for its prevention, should also be considered. Consult your veterinarian if the condition does not improve. Store at 20° C to 25° C (68° F - 77° F), excursions permitted between 15° C and 30° C (between 59° F - 86° F).
