What inactive ingredients are listed on FDA DailyMed full prescribing information for specific ivermectin paste brands?
Executive summary
A survey of the FDA DailyMed records and DailyMed mirror pages shows multiple approved equine ivermectin paste brands — including DuraMectin, IverCare, Ivermax, Zimecterin, Bimectin and Horse Health — but the specific inactive ingredient lists do not appear in the provided report snippets, so the precise formulation details cannot be confirmed from the supplied reporting alone [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
1. The question being asked and what the sources actually contain
The user seeks the inactive ingredients named in the FDA DailyMed “Full Prescribing Information” for particular ivermectin pastes; the available records and FDA.report mirrors confirm that DailyMed hosts label pages for multiple ivermectin paste products but the excerpts in the provided reporting do not include the inactive ingredient sections of those labels, meaning the actual inactive-ingredient text is not present in these supplied snippets [1] [7] [3] [4] [6] [5].
2. Which brands appear in the DailyMed roster cited here
DailyMed pages and FDA.report mirror entries in the provided set explicitly reference product names and registrations for DuraMectin, IverCare, Ivermax, Zimecterin, Bimectin and at least one generic Ivermectin paste entry from Farnam, showing that these specific brands have FDA DailyMed label pages that could contain full composition information [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [8].
3. What the supplied snippets DO show about the labels (but not inactive ingredients)
The snippets repeatedly show indications, dosing, manufacturer contact information and environmental cautions — standard label elements — which corroborates that these are complete product label pages on DailyMed, but none of the provided extracts include the “Inactive Ingredients” subsection or a complete ingredients list for the paste formulations themselves [7] [9] [10] [11].
4. Why the inactive-ingredient detail might be missing from mirrored reporting
FDA.report mirror pages and the DailyMed snippets in the dataset tend to highlight indications, warnings and contact information; some mirror tools summarize “ingredients” in metadata without including the label’s specific excipients in the displayed snippets, so the absence of an inactive-ingredient listing in these excerpts could reflect sampling or display limits rather than the labels lacking that information [12] [2] [10].
5. How to obtain the exact inactive-ingredient lists (and why that matters)
The authoritative method is to open each product’s full DailyMed label page for the “Ingredients” or “Description” section, where excipients and carrier media are normally declared; the records cited identify the DailyMed entries for each brand (DuraMectin, IverCare, Ivermax, Zimecterin, Bimectin, Horse Health), so those specific DailyMed URLs should be visited to extract the inactive ingredient text that the supplied snippets did not include [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
6. Caveats, alternative explanations and potential biases in the reporting
It remains possible that third‑party mirrors (like the FDA.report snapshots in this dataset) have pared down or summarized label content in ways that omit excipient lists; conversely, DailyMed is the primary FDA-hosted repository and is likely to contain the full formulation language — a user consulting only the mirror pages shown here risks missing excipient details and should prioritize the original DailyMed label pages for definitive wording [7] [13].
