UlcerGard Paste 0.22 oz

Some horses are more prone to stress than others, but for many, even small changes in their routine can lead to equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS), also referred to as gastric ulcers. Fortunately, EGUS can be avoided with Ulcergard - a targeted medication for proven prevention of gastric ulcers in otherwise healthy horses. To avoid gastric ulcers, deliver Ulcergard paste during anticipated moments of stress, such as traveling, competition, stall confinement, and strenuous exercise. Ulcergard paste can be used in horses that weigh at least 600 lbs. Safety in pregnant mares has not been determined. Not for use in humans.
