Safe Guard aka Febendazole question

JackieLapradd Aug 23, 2003 04:38 PM

I am curious if anyone has been able to figure out how to ACCURATELY dose this particular brand of medication?
I am using the 25 gram 10% paste (100 mg per gram).
The best I can tell 1 gram equals approximately .6cc
If you have any experience with this product I would appreciate your input.
Thanks

How did you come up with .6cc per gram?
I got 1cc per gram which makes dosing easy.

Ed,
You are correct! After going over my equations again I now come up with 1.2cc
I originally dosed it at the rate of 50mg per kg which is the lower recommended dose(hence the .6cc). After figuring 100mg per kg it comes up to 1.2cc
Thanks for the input!
Jackie
