ULCERGARD® Oral Paste – Trusted Gastric Ulcer Prevention for Performance Horses

ULCERGARD® Oral Paste is a proven, FDA-approved solution designed to help prevent gastric ulcers and support overall digestive health in horses. Stress from training, hauling, showing, racing, stall confinement, or competition can increase stomach acid and raise ulcer risk—UlcerGard works proactively to help protect your horse before problems start.

Formulated with omeprazole, UlcerGard reduces acid production in the horse’s stomach, helping prevent ulcer formation that can lead to decreased appetite, attitude changes, and reduced performance. The easy-to-dose paste is well accepted by most horses and delivers reliable, once-daily support during stressful periods.

How It Works

ULCERGARD® (omeprazole) has been tested for safety and effectiveness. By lowering gastric acid production, it helps maintain stomach comfort and integrity when horses are exposed to stressors such as training, travel, competition, or limited forage access.
