Delivered in a syringe form, this daily medication contains the active ingredient omeprazole, which suppresses stomach acids and prevents equine gastric ulcer syndrome. This condition can be painful and is often caused by stress or stomach acid problems. Even small changes in routine can lead to gastric ulcers, which have been observed in over 90% of racehorses and 60% of performance horses. However, with ULCERGARD, you can avoid EGUS and its potentially harmful effects. This targeted medication is FDA-approved and proven safe and effective in preventing gastric ulcers in healthy horses. For best results, administer ULCERGARD during times of anticipated stress, such as travel, competition, stall confinement, and strenuous exercise.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-csa-c-id=\"65et61-mf2rdy-8x8ogd-i036ht\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"importantInformation_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"importantInformation\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"importantInformation\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"importantInformation_feature_div\"\u003eBenefits\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemonstrated to safely and efficiently \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-health-care\" title=\"Horse health care \u0026amp; wellness: dewormer, ivermectin, \u0026amp; more! | hardypaw\" aria-label=\"Horse health care \u0026amp; wellness: dewormer, ivermectin, \u0026amp; more! | hardypaw\"\u003eprevent equine gastric ulcer syndrome\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated to survive the acidic stomach environment, enabling proper absorption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInhibits acid production at the proton pump, regardless of stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConveniently packaged for once-daily, simple oral paste administration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique formula supports sufficient absorption and maintains product stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for use during periods of heightened stress or potential risks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient dosage with once-a-day administration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUlcerGuard comes in a cinnamon-flavored paste for easy ingestion.

What is UlcerGard Oral Paste, and how does it work?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUlcerGard Oral Paste is a preventative treatment for equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) in horses. It contains the active ingredient omeprazole, which works by reducing the production of stomach acid. By lowering acid levels, it helps create a healthier environment in your horse’s stomach, reducing the likelihood of developing painful ulcers. It's particularly useful for performance horses or those undergoing stress from travel, training, or changes in routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. How do I administer UlcerGard to my horse?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAdministering UlcerGard is straightforward! The paste comes in a ready-to-use syringe. You simply need to draw the appropriate dose (usually based on your horse's weight) and place the syringe in the side of your horse’s mouth, aiming for the space between the cheek and gum. Gently push the plunger to deliver the paste, and make sure your horse swallows it. It’s best to give it on an empty stomach, ideally before they eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I consider using UlcerGard for my horse?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIt's a good idea to consider UlcerGard if your horse shows signs of stress, such as during competition, after traveling, or when experiencing dietary changes. If your horse is known to have a history of gastric ulcers or you're observing signs like loss of appetite, changes in behavior, or weight loss, it’s wise to talk to your veterinarian about starting a course of UlcerGard to prevent these issues before they escalate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Is UlcerGard safe for all horses?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eYes, UlcerGard is generally safe for most horses, including those involved in competition. However, as with any medication, there are exceptions. Pregnant or lactating mares and very young foals should be approached with caution. It's always best to consult with your veterinarian before starting any new treatment to ensure it's a good fit for your specific horse and their health needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boehringer Ingelheim","offers":[{"title":"Single Syringe","offer_id":42605987922081,"sku":"72051","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Syringes","offer_id":42605987954849,"sku":"72053","price":285.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 Syringes","offer_id":42606092976289,"sku":"126649","price":945.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 Syringes","offer_id":44523631771809,"sku":"126652","price":1874.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 Syringes","offer_id":44523631804577,"sku":"126653","price":2799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/2446\/5313\/files\/ulcergard-oral-paste-for-horses-single-syringe-horse-gastric-care-813.png?v=1778512588","url":"https:\/\/hordypaw.shop\/products\/ulcergard-oral-paste-for-horses","provider":"HardyPaw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
