I'm a big fan of using omeprazole to prevent ulcers in young horses in training but am concerned that it works by blockig the secretion of gastric acid and I question if i want to completely block all gastric acid forever.
I use a full does for the first 30 days which cost around $6.00 a day and then cut back to a half dose after that which cost around $3.00 a day. I reduce the Omeprazole because I read a study that this reduction did not result in a return of ulcers and wonder if it also allows some beneficial [???] gastric acid to be excreted
