Brief Answer:
It may need 16 mg

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Invermectin is used in hospital guidelines as a single dose of 0.2mg/kg and the second dose can be repeated at day 7.
So a person of 80 kg may use 16 mg as a single dose.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
