• One administration per day during 28 consecutive days at the dose rate of 4 mg omeprazole per kg body weight followed immediately by a dosage regimen of one administration per day during 28 consecutive days at the dose rate of 1 mg omeprazole per kg body weight, to reduce the recurrence of gastric ulcers during treatment.
• Should recurrence occur, re-treatment at a dose rate of 4 mg omeprazole per kg body weight is recommended.

Prevention of gastric ulcers:

• To deliver GastroGard at the dose of 4 mg omeprazole/kg, set the syringe plunger to the appropriate dose division for the horse’s weight.
• Each full dose division on the syringe plunger delivers sufficient omeprazole to treat 100 kg body weight.
• The contents of one syringe will treat a 575 kg horse at the rate of 4 mg omeprazole per kg body weight.
• To deliver GastroGard at the dose of 1 mg omeprazole/kg, set the syringe plunger to the dose division equivalent to one quarter of the horse’s body weight.
• At this dose, each full dose division on the syringe plunger will deliver sufficient omeprazole to treat 400 kg body weight. For example, to treat a horse weighing 400 kg, set the plunger to 100 kg.
