Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	Gastroguard is a prescription medication formulated to treat Gastric Ulcers. Ulcerguard is an over the counter medication for the prevention of gastric ulcers. Cost of Gastroguard for treatment is $32-$40/ tube (1.8mg/lb/day) Total Cost: $960-$1200 Cost of Ulcerguard for prevention is $33-$37/ tube (.45mg/lb/day for the rest of their lives according to most Veterinarians. Alternatives are available for daily prevention that are much cheaper.) Cost Per Month Calculated with 4 doses per tube: $264-$296/month. An Average size horse will get one tube per day of Gastroguard for one month for treatment of ulcers. Horses can then be scoped to make sure all ulcers are clear to then start a preventative such as Ulcerguard. Here it is straight from the horses mouth to prove my information: http://www.ulcergard.com/Pages/default.aspx Edited by IRunOnFaith 2017-07-05 9:20 AM
