UlcerGard™ (Omeprazole) 1 Syringe/4 Dose

UlcerGard™ Oral Paste For Horses (Omeprazole) 1 Syringe/4 Dose

ULCERGARD can be truly beneficial for a horse exposed to stressful situations such as traveling, changes in routine, competitions, training, weaning, lay-up and / or hospitalization.

ULCERGARD is the only FDA approved product proven to prevent equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS). Given once daily during stressful periods, ULCERGARD is proven effective in preventing gastric ulcers over short and long periods of time.

Dosage and administration:

UlcerGard™ is available without a prescription. Each tube contains four daily doses for horses weighing 600 to 1,200 lbs

• Under 600 lbs: Consult your veterinarian
• 600 - 1,200 lbs: 1 dose/day
• Over 1,200 lbs: 2 doses/day

The minimum recommended dosage is 1 mg/kg per day (0.45 mg/lb) or 1/4 syringe. When given once daily during the stressful period, UlcerGard™ has been shown to effectively prevent stomach ulcers in horses. This effect was tested in horses exposed to stressful conditions for either 8 or 28 days.

• Before administering, make sure the horse's mouth contains no feed
• Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe, and insert the syringe into the horse's mouth at the interdental space
• Depress the plunger until stopped by the knurled ring
• The dose should be deposited on the back of the tongue or deep into the cheek pouch
• Replace the syringe cap after use; remaining paste may be reused on following days until emptied

Care should be taken to ensure that the horse consumes the complete dose. Treated animals should be observed briefly after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If any of the dose is lost, re-dosing is recommended.
