24-48 hours or so.  And don't count on it to get the encysted ones--the injectable presumably did, but if you're after the encyted ones, you'd likely do better with a fenbendazole purge.

Subject: [RC] Ivermectin: How Long Does It Take the Buggers to Die?

When I dose my horse with Ivermectin, over what length

of time is it acting to kill the parasites?

<snip>

Put another way, how long does it take the Ivermectin

dose to kill the strongids?  Do they die within two

days, or within 10 days, or 14 days?  What about

encysted strongiles?
