| Directions | GastroGard Paste for horses is recommended for use in horses and foals 4 weeks of age and older.
For treatment of gastric ulcers, each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver sufficient 250 lbs.
For prevention of recurrence of gastric ulcers, each weight marking will deliver sufficient to dose 500 lbs body weight.
To deliver GastroGard Paste at the treatment dose rate set the syringe plunger to the appropriate weight marking according to the horse’s weight in pounds.
To deliver GastroGard Paste at the dose rate to prevent recurrence of ulcers, set the syringe plunger to the weight marking corresponding to half of the horse’s weight in pounds. Make sure the horse’s mouth does not contain food.
1. Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe, and insert the syringe into the horse’s mouth at a space between the teeth.
2. Depress the plunger until stopped by the knurled ring. The dose should be deposited on the back of the tongue or deep into the cheek pouch, once a day for up to28 days. Care should be taken to ensure that the horse consumes the complete dose.
Treated animals should be observed briefly after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected.
If any of the dose is lost, redosing is recommended. After dosing, if the syringe is not completely empty, it may be reused on following days until emptied. Replace the cap after each use. |
