GastroMax3

GastroMax3 can help prevent gastric ulcers in healthy horses. GastroMax3 contains omeprazole at a level that does not require a prescription, plus sodium acid carbonate and l-glutamine, a trio of active ingredients that work together to support normal acid levels in a horse's stomach. GastroMax3 is recommended for use during stressful events such as intense training, racing, showing, traveling, stall confinement, and competition.

Dosage: The minimum recommended dose is 1/4 syringe (see chart below).

The entire dose should be deposited on the back of the tongue or deep in the cheek pouch. Horses should be observed briefly to assure no part of the dose is lost or rejected. If any of the doses is lost, re-dosing is recommended.

The prevalence of gastric ulceration in thoroughbreds and standardbreds in racing varies from 70 to 94%. Many sport horses are similarly affected. Many equines with ulceration are asymptomatic. In symptomatic equines, signs include diarrhea, poor growth, abdominal pain, salivation, bruxism (teeth grinding), poor quality hair coat, poor performance, and decreased consumption of concentrates.

Omeprazole is from the family of proton pump inhibitors that blocks secretion of acid.

Active Ingredients: Omeprazole, Sodium Acid Carbonate, and L-Glutamine
