Here's why:
* Different metabolism: Humans and horses process medications differently. What is safe for a horse could be toxic or lethal to a human.
* Dosage: The dosage for a horse is vastly different from what a human would need. Taking even a small amount intended for a horse could have severe consequences.
* Unforeseen reactions: You can't predict how your body will react to a medication meant for an animal.
