Purpose and Warnings:

Our ivermectin products labelled for research or laboratory use are strictly intended for experimental use in laboratory or research environments only. These products are intended to experimentally treat environments or enclosures where laboratory animals may be kept or where a risk of parasites may develop. These products should only be used as an experimental method of addressing the development of parasites in small test environments where administering antiparasitics directly to test subjects may affect results. These products are not intended for consumption or any use on humans or animals. These products must be kept out of reach of children. When used as intended, this product is legal to possess or purchase and does not require an EPA experimental use permit as defined in U.S. Code, Title 40.

Suggested Use:

Experimental use of ivermectin as an environmental antiparasitic in laboratories has historically involved the use of raw API anhydrous ivermectin, which requires advanced PPE and special environmental precautions. While basic PPE should be worn at all times while handling ivermectin, our pill format greatly reduces the risk of exposure and allows for use of more basic precautions. Our pill format simplifies safety and measurments by pre-diluting the API into a typical use dosage to be applied in dry or wet form to an environment where a risk of parasitic activity may develop. The application should be made prior to the introduction of animals to the treated environment or should be made after the animal has left the environment. The application should not be made while an animal is in the environment or enclosure, as contamination of the animal may occur.

The capsule format may be manually disassembled and the powder contents may be used for any experimental antiparasitic formulation, including a simple aqueous solution. The HPMC vegan capsule is typically discarded, but may also be dissolved into the formulation. If the tablet format is used, we recommend the use of a mortar and pestle to disintegrate the capsule into a powder form for easier dissolution. The wet or dry experimental formulation may then be applied to the target environment using a brush or fine mist sprayer.
