With Omeprazol which helps toto prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding , Gastrotek also contains misoprostol which is used for the prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers. It acts upon gastric parietal cells, inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid by G-protein coupled receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase, which leads to decreased intracellular cyclic AMP levels and decreased proton pump activity at the apical surface of the parietal cell

GastroTec

Equine Gastric and Colonic Ulcer Treatment

GastroTec  (Omeprazole, Misoprostol) is a supplemental medication for the treatment of gastric and colonic ulcers in horses. Omeprazole is an effective inhibitor of gastric acid secretion in horses and thereby helps in preventing and treating gastric ulcers. Misoprostol is highly effective in colonic ulcer treatment. GastroTec is recommended to be used during stressful events or activities that may cause gastric and/or colonic ulcers.

  • Convenient once-a-day dosing
  • Easy to administer and readily accepted by horses
  • Proven to prevent gastric ulcers and their recurrence

Clinical Signs Associated with Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS)

  • Occurs in the stomach and foregut
  • Poor appetite
  • Change in behavior
  • Unhealthy appearance
  • Reduced physical ability and performance

Clinical Signs Associated with Colonic Ulcers

  • Occurs in the intestines and hindqut
  • Poor appetite
  • Dull hair coat
  • Lethargy
  • Can progress to diarrhea, fever and recurring episodes of colic
  • Condition may worsen with the administration of some medications such as Phenylbutazone (Bute) and Banamine

Composition

  • Omeprazole blocks secretion of acid at the parietal cell membrane by irreversibly binding to the proton pump of the cell. Due to its prolonged anti-secretory effect, Omeprazole allows for once-daily dosing.
  • Misoprostol provides unique mucosal protective effects in the colon and enhances the rate of repair.

Dosage and Administration:

Once daily administration of GastroTec is recommended for horses exposed to stressful conditions which may include: training, racing, showing, traveling, stall confinement, and competition.
