Abler and HorsePreRace Omeprazole- The real thing?

I highly suspect my little mare has ulcers. The cost of treating her with ulcergard makes me cringe. I’ve used the omeprazole from HorsePreRace.com but since it’s not regulated… So can anyone chime in here- any success stories using omeprazole from Abler or HorsePreRace to treat ulcers?

Thanks

Used both many times always effective. Many threads on this.

I used the 6 (?) doze tubes from horseprerace.com with good success.

When the FDA tested them, Abler came in at about 115% of the amount stated on the package. The Prerace stuff was about 30% if memory serves me right. I would go with Abler.

Can anybody look into this to see if it’s approved now by the FDA or does it matter?

ETA: I found it. Only Gastrogard and Ulcergard are approved. But does it really matter?

Oh, oh, I can answer this!! Answer is a big, fat NO! Honestly, I think it has more to do with Ulcerguard throwing a fit and the US not be able to collect taxes on it.

I have used Abler on two occasions with two different horses. It cured the ulcers in both. I used their paste version.

This isn’t in reference to Abler who is an actual pharmacy with an actual lab.
