Gastrogard is a little more expensive but worth it to me. It's the only thing I found that works on my horse. He is also on Neigh-Lox Advanced as well. He got 28 days of the Gastrogard, a 1/2 a tube a day every day along with the Neigh-Lox Advanced & when finished he remained on the Neigh-Lox Advanced. He will be on that the rest of his life but he went from a horse that reared, lunged, got extremely nervous & on the muscle when going thru the gate to a horse that goes in calm & clocking Div. 1 & 2 times now instead of Div. 3 & 4. :) :)

They are the exact same thing just different labels stuck to the tube. I found that valley vet is the cheapest for ulcergard. It will run you a few bucks cheaper than gastrogard and you wont need a RX. If treating then just give a whole tube daily of ulcergard.

ditto! Just different labeling. You can use 1 whole tube of the Ulcergard and its like a tube of Gastroguard. Vet old me if I had flare ups, go to full ulcergard for 10 days than back to mainenance. He was treated last year with 28 days of Gastroguard with great success.

I just went all through this with my horse this spring. Gastrogard or Ulcergard are both expensive. But the biggest thing my vet told me was that no matter what I went with it needed to have the 2.28 gram of Omeprazole in it. That is what heals the ulcer and neutralizes the acid. Cox Labs also has a ulcer medication in a tube but now I can't remember what it is called but it has the Omeprazole in it. You might check their web site out.
