Valley Vet will have sales from time to time where you can get tubes for $27.99. If you go the gastroguard/ulcerguard route, I highly recommend you download the Merial Max Rewards app- they give a rebate per tube purchased and put it on a visa debit card so you can use rebates for whatever you'd like! As a trainer/barn manager I love the rewards. https://max.merial.com/Pages/landing.HTML

Compounding pharmacy was a money Waster for me. Gastrogard was amazing and I have amazing experience with it and ulcergard. They are the only FDA approved treatment/prevention drugs. I use smartgut and total calm and focus as supplements and feed very small amounts of grain 1/3 lb 2 x/day of sentinel SR with alfalfa/Tim pellets Internet vet company has the guaranteed cheapest with free shipping and they tell you the exp date and send the rebate form. Can't go wrong

I am a person and had to take Omeprazole. I wanted to stop it and about 7 days after stopping I had heartburn so bad - I never had heartburn this painful. The cause: If you take it longer than two weeks, once you stop Omeprazole the body reacts by producing 50% more stomach acid than before and that for 4 weeks!!!!!. You have to wean yourself off over 4 months by reducing the dosage. I bet its the same for a horse... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112564382

"researchers call "acid rebound." Stomach cells that make acid multiply over several weeks of exposure to a PPI in an effort to overcome the drug's effect. When the PPI is stopped, they pour out more acid than ever." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112564382

Pull all grain. Quit any and all exercise during treatment. Use ulcergard, not any off brand. Feed alfalfa cubes or pellets. Use corn oil. Add a gut supplement like smartgut. 24/7 turnout. I speak from experience with a horse with grade 4 and Morven Park ICU visit and colic surgery watch. It was resolved with the above and still going strong. I've added slowly overtime, cool calories, renew gold and a minimal amount of equine senior 1 qt a day split over two feedings. They also offer a rebate most of the time for gastrogard....use it and you won't be sorry. Horseprerace.com is another option that I'm looking into for prn use.
