Product Description

ULCERGARD is the first and only product proven to prevent Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) also known as stomach ulcers in horses. No other product is FDA-approved to prevent stomach ulcers in horses. The main ingredient in ULCERGARD - omeprazole - suppresses acid production in a horse's stomach. 1 mg/kg of omeprazole per day for 28 days effectively prevents the onset of ulcers in horses exposed to stressful conditions. The cinnamon-flavored oral paste is well accepted by horses. Patented paste formulation guarantees stability of the omeprazole. Once-a-day dosing is convenient to administer. Each tube of ULCERGARD contains four daily preventive doses for horses weighing between 600 and 1,200 pounds. Two doses are recommended for horses weighing more than 1,200 pounds.
