I did read that about eprinex. Can you tell me why is it different than ivermectin? Why doesn't it have a withdrawl time?
Thank you for the input everyone!
I do have to wonder about the withdrawl time. It would enter into the chickens eggs, but they also poop so at least 1/2 has to come out that way.
Redhen, I think especially if you feed it later on in the winter they would get another tiny dose of wormer to keep everything cleaned out!
After reading what you posted I had to check online to find out more. This is one that I found. I haven't looked anymore because I had better get back to work. Thought it was interesting though.
Can humans use Ivermectin 1.87%/praziquantel 14.03% by Equimax a horse dewormer for themselves for eliminating their parasites and is it safe?Yes, but be careful of dosage and side effects by la0508 65 days

What are ivermectin tablets?
IVERMECTIN (Stromectol
) treats parasite infections. This medicine treats worm infections like river blindness and a type of diarrhea called strongyloidiasis. It can also be used to treat other types of resistant parasitic infections, including scabies or head lice. Generic ivermectin tablets are not yet available.
What should I tell my health care provider before I take this medicine?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
asthma
liver disease
an unusual reaction to Ivermectin, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
breast-feeding
How should this medicine be used?
Take ivermectin tablets by mouth with a full glass of water. Do not take ivermectin with food. Follow the directions on the prescription label. As a general rule take ivermectin tablets 1 hour before breakfast. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Finish the full course of medicine prescribed by your prescriber or health care professional even if you feel better.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
What if I miss a dose?
Since ivermectin is usually given as a one time dose, it is unlikely that you will miss a dose. However, you may need a return visit to your doctor to see if you need repeat doses to cure the infection.
What drug(s) may interact with Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is usually given as a one time dose and thus drug interactions are thought to be uncommon. Check with your prescriber or health care professional if you will be receiving multiple doses of ivermectin and if you are taking other medications.
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What should I watch for while taking Ivermectin?
Visit your prescriber or health care professional to check that your infection has gone. Your prescriber may request that you have stool samples or other tests checked for the infection. If you have a severe infection, you may need a repeat course of treatment.
You may get dizzy. Until you know how ivermectin affects you, do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness.
Practice good hygeine to prevent infection of others. Wash your hands, scrub your fingernails and shower often. Every day change and launder linens and undergarments. Scrub toilets often and keep floors clean.
Other people in your house may need treatment. Check with your prescriber or health care professional.
What side effects may I notice from receiving Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is usually well tolerated and serious side effects are rare.
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
difficulty breathing
eye or eyelid pain, irritation, redness or swelling
loss or change of vision
redness, blistering, peeling or loosening of the skin, including inside the mouth
skin rash, hives or increased itching
yellowing of eyes or skin
unusual weakness or tiredness
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
dizziness or lightheadedness
joint or muscle pain
tender glands in the neck, armpits, or groin
headache
diarrhea
loss of appetite
nausea, vomiting
tremors
swelling of the face, hands, arms, feet, or legs
Yes, they can and are, but have central nervous system effects, can be somewhat toxic to your liver. Before you use these, best to verify that you truly have a parasitic infection, and that ivermectin and praziquantel will be effective for the kind you have. I wouldn't do this just on the general principle "everybody has parasites which are the cause of all disease and we must cleanse ourselves from them".
