The dosage rate it delivers 0.2mg/kg or 0.09mg/pound. The standard dosing rate for prophylaxis (FLCCC) is 0.2mg/kg. Therefore if you weigh 80kg or 175 pounds you would use that weight reading on the syringe. It is the same for humans and horses. If you need to take a larger dose of 0.4mg/kg for early treatment (FLCCC) then you double the weight reading to 160kg or 350 pounds. Something to know about. I spoke to a compounding chemist (for humans and animals) about these drugs and from their experience they are well above food grade quality and pose no risk to human health. One of the main reasons they gave is that horses have much more sensitive livers than humans so the purity has to be very good.
