Description:
Gastric antiulcer, proton pump inhibitor.

Composition:
Omeprazole base 37 g

Therapeutic Action:
Omeprazole potently inhibits gastric secretion in animals and humans. It irreversibly blocks the metabolic activity of the proton pump at the luminal surface, resulting in a potent, long-lasting, dose-dependent inhibition of acid secretion. The drug acts by non-competitive inhibition of the activity of H +, K + -adenosine triphosphatase in the secretory membrane of the parietal cell, blocking the production of hydrogen ions.

Omeprazole inhibits basal acid secretion and secondary to stimuli. Another action of the drug is the inhibition of cytochrome P-450 at the liver level and the mixed function of the oxidative system. The inhibition of acid secretion at the gastric level persists even after the drug disappears from the plasma. Omeprazole produces only a small decrease in gastric juice volume and does not alter gastric motility.

Dosage and Administration:
For the treatment of gastric ulcers: administer a dose of 4 mg of omeprazole / kg b.w., equivalent to 1.08 g of product per 100 Kg b.w. (one measure every 100 Kg b.w.) once a day, for 4 weeks.

For the prevention of relapses or the formation of gastric ulcers in healthy horses during periods in which they are exposed to stress situations: administer a maintenance dose of 2 mg / Kg b.w. equivalent to 1.08 g of product every 200 Kg b.w. (one measure every 200 Kg b.w.) once a day for 4 weeks. Administer once a day, preferably in the morning before feeding.

In foals it can be used from 1 month of age onwards with the same dosage schedule.

Species:
Equines.
