Efficacy of Omeprazole Paste in the Prevention of Gastric Ulcers in 2 Years Old Thoroughbreds

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Prevalence of equine gastric ulcer syndrome in 85 young Thoroughbreds was investigated. The presence of gastric ulcers was confirmed in 27.1% (23/85) of the horses by endoscopic examination. Sixty-two horses without gastric ulcers were allocated randomly to either the treated group (31 horses) or sham-dosed control group (31 horses) in order to investigate the efficacy of omeprazole oral paste in the prevention of gastric ulcers. At the second endoscopic examination conducted after 28 days of adminis… Show more

“…The importance of acid secretion to ulceration is suggested by the effectiveness of histamine receptor 2 (H 2 ) antagonists [21,22] and proton pump inhibitors [22][23][24][25][26][27] in treatment. Benefit has also been found from administration of sulcrafate, a combination of sucrose, sulphate and aluminium; this inhibits pepsin and increases prostaglandin levels, although the protection against ulceration probably derives mainly from an increased production of mucin [28].…”
