Where can veterinarians and owners find ingredient lists and safety data sheets for specific horse ivermectin brands?
Executive summary
Veterinarians and horse owners can typically obtain ingredient lists (product labels) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS) directly from manufacturers or from regulatory/product databases; multiple brand pages and product listings note that SDS or MSDS copies are available on request from the manufacturer and that labels list active ingredient concentrations (commonly 1.87% ivermectin paste) and dosing info (one syringe often treats up to 1,250 lb at 200 mcg/kg) [1][2][3]. Several drug listings and manufacturer product pages explicitly instruct users to contact the maker for SDS copies and technical assistance [4][5][6].
1. Where the label (ingredient list) typically appears — “start with the product page”
Product labels and technical sheets are usually posted on manufacturer or retailer product pages and on third‑party drug databases; examples include Zimecterin’s product page that provides dosing, storage, and “active ingredient ivermectin” details (200 mcg/kg; syringe treats up to 1,250 lb) [1], Equimax technical sheet showing indications and age limits [3], and retailer product listings or Drugs.com pages that summarize active ingredient and directions for use [7][8]. These pages routinely present the active ingredient concentration (e.g., 1.87% ivermectin paste) and administration instructions [7][2].
2. Where the Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) is found — “ask the manufacturer or check the SDS link”
Multiple product pages and label summaries state the SDS/MSDS contains occupational safety details and give explicit contact routes to obtain it: Durvet and Duravet product listings and DailyMed entries instruct users to contact Durvet, Inc. or the listed manufacturer for a copy of the SDS [4][6]. Retailers and manufacturers (for generics like Bimeda’s listings) similarly advise contacting the company’s phone number to request an MSDS [5]. Equimax also references its Safety Data Sheet for additional occupational safety information [3].
3. Brand variations and what to expect in those documents — “same active, different labels/words”
Although many horse ivermectin pastes share the same active pharmaceutical ingredient and concentration (ivermectin 1.87% is repeatedly cited), brands differ in trade names, flavoring, and packaging details; Farnam’s IverCare and other generics list the same 1.87% ivermectin content while calling out product‑specific features such as apple flavor and syringe volume [9][8][2]. Product labels will also list precautions (e.g., do not use in horses intended for human consumption), storage ranges, and specific safety warnings [1][7].
4. Practical contact paths — “who to call or where to click”
If you need an SDS/MSDS or the full ingredient breakdown beyond the active ingredient, the pages and labels direct users to contact the manufacturer for technical assistance and to request the SDS: Durvet’s phone number is listed for ivermectin paste inquiries and SDS requests on DailyMed and Drugs.com summaries [4][6][10]. Bimeda is named as a contact for Equimax and related products [5][3]. Retailers selling generic syringes often include the manufacturer helpline for MSDS requests [5].
5. Safety and regulatory context owners should know — “what those documents emphasize”
Labels and SDS/MSDS emphasize occupational safety and environmental cautions: warnings include avoiding eye contact, washing hands after handling, not using products in horses intended for human consumption, and that ivermectin residues may harm aquatic organisms [1][6][11]. The SDS for Equimax notes environmental persistence and disposal guidance [11]. Labels also describe animal reactions in certain infestations (e.g., swelling/itching when heavy Onchocerca infections die) and advise consulting a veterinarian [4][7].
6. Limitations and alternative sources — “what’s not in these pages”
The supplied material shows manufacturers and databases as primary sources for labels and SDSs and gives contact routes for those documents, but current reporting in these results does not list a single central federal SDS repository for equine ivermectin brands nor does it provide downloadable SDS links for every brand — users are repeatedly directed to contact manufacturers [4][5][6]. For wider context on resistance and deworming strategy, an industry article notes FDA requests for added resistance information on labels, but detailed regulatory filings or consolidated ingredient registries are not present in the results provided [12].
7. Quick practical checklist for vets/owners — “what to do now”
1) Check the product page or retailer listing for the label/dosing (examples: Zimecterin, Equimax, IverCare) [1][3][9]. 2) If you need the SDS/MSDS or occupational details, call the manufacturer’s technical assistance number listed on the label/product summary (Durvet, Bimeda, Farnam contacts appear in these pages) [4][5][8]. 3) Keep label warnings and SDS environmental/handling guidance—wash hands, avoid eye contact, and follow disposal instructions—on file for staff [11][1]. 4) Consult your veterinarian for parasite control planning and for adverse reactions guidance as noted on several labels [4][13].
If you want, I can draft a short script/email template you can use to request an SDS from a specific manufacturer listed in these results — tell me which brand or company you plan to contact (e.g., Durvet, Bimeda, Farnam) and I’ll prepare it.
