UlcerGard (Omeprazole Paste)

UlcerGard® from Boehringer Ingelheim is the only FDA-approved product specifically designed to prevent gastric ulcers in horses. Whether your horse is competing, traveling, stall-bound, or undergoing intense exercise, stress can lead to excessive acid production—and, ultimately, painful ulcers. UlcerGard helps you get ahead of the issue by blocking acid at its source, offering targeted, proven protection.

Backed by research showing over 90% of racehorses and 60% of performance horses experience ulcers, UlcerGard delivers confidence and comfort when your horse needs it most.
