Proper Use
Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Ivermectin is best taken as a single dose with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (1 hour before breakfast), unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

To help clear up your infection, take this medicine exactly as directed. Your doctor may want you to take another dose every 3 to 12 months.
Your doctor may also prescribe a corticosteroid (a cortisone-like medicine) for certain patients with river blindness, especially those with severe symptoms. This is to help reduce the inflammation caused by the death of the worms. If your doctor prescribes these two medicines together, it is important to take the corticosteroid along with ivermectin. Take them exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not miss any doses.

Hope in chains...
I use pour on meant for large animals. I use it for my chickens. Gets all over me when somebody objects to me holding them down for their dose. Big girls get 6 drops behind their neck on the skin. adjust as needed for the size of chicken. I assume it absorbs into human skin like any animal.
There are several threads about other types a human can use, big animal paste is one and edible. You can measure it out with the tube for your own weight.
