Horses.

Route of administration: oral

• For the treatment of gastric ulcers: Administer a dose of 4 mg/kg body weight, once daily, for 28 consecutive days, followed by an administration of 2 mg/kg body weight, once daily for 28 days, to reduce the recurrence of gastric ulcers after treatment. If recurrence occurs, it is recommended to retreat with 4 mg/kg body weight for 28 days.
• For the prevention of gastric ulcers: Administer a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight, once daily, for 28 consecutive days.

• To administer the treatment dose, place the dosing device in the division corresponding to the animal’s body weight. The total content of the syringe will allow 1,000 kg of body weight to be treated at a rate of 4 mg of omeprazole/kg of body weight.
• To administer the maintenance or preventive dose, place the dosing device in the division corresponding to half of the animal’s body weight. In this case, the total content of the syringe will allow four animals weighing 500 kg to be treated at a rate of 2 mg of omeprazole/kg of body weight, or to dose a 500 kg animal for four days.
