title: Influence of route of administration on the plasma concentrations of ivermectin in reindeer.
abstract: The concentration of ivermectin in the plasma of reindeer was measured after it was administered either topically as a pour-on preparation at 500 micrograms kg-1 bodyweight at different seasons to animals of different ages, or after subcutaneous and oral doses of 200 micrograms kg-1 bodyweight. The plasma concentrations of ivermectin were highest and least variable after it was administered subcutaneously.
