Do I need a prescription for GastroGard?

How should I store the syringes?

What happens if I miss a dose?

Administer the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use GastroGard, ensure the horse's mouth is empty of food to avoid the horse spitting out the paste. Set the dial on the syringe to the prescribed weight-based dosage. After administration, keep the horse's head elevated briefly to ensure the medication is swallowed completely. Store the syringe in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always keep out of reach of children or other animals. Consult with your veterinarian to integrate this treatment into your horse’s overall health plan.
