  • Title: [Intravenous administration of Ivomec in horses].
    Author: Breukink HJ, Eysker M.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1995 Feb 15; 120(4):113-4. PubMed ID: 7863483.
    Abstract:
    Now and then cases have been reported where horses died suddenly after intravenous application of Ivomec. Lethal anaphylactic reactions in horses are known to occur incidentially after intravenous application of drug dissolved in propyleneglycol or glycerolformol. Since Ivomec is registered for use in cattle, sheep and pig, its use in horses has to be regarded as 'off label use'. It is concluded that in the treatment of inhibited stages of cyathostomes ivermectin has no effect whether or not it is applied intravenously or orally. Since lethal anaphylactic reactions can occur, intravenous application of Ivomec can not be justified for 'off label use'.
