Oral paste containing 1.87% w/w ivermectin Ph. Eur. and 2% w/w titanium dioxide (E171).

Dosage and administration
Noromectin 1.87% Oral Paste for Horses is administered orally at a single dose rate of 200 ľg/kg of bodyweight. One syringe division of paste should be administered per 100 kg bodyweight (based on the recommended dosage of 200 ľg/kg). Each syringe delivers 120 mg ivermectin, sufficient to treat 600 kg of bodyweight. The tip of the syringe barrel should be inserted at the interdental space (the gap between the front and back teeth). The horse's head should be raised for a few seconds after dosing.
Horses' weight should be accurately determined for the correct use of the paste. The animal's mouth should be free of food to ensure swallowing.
For best results all horses in a yard or grazing together should be included in a regular parasite control programme and treated at the same time.
