What are the ingredients in Gastrobim?
Gastrobim contains omeprazole as its active ingredient, with a concentration of 37% w/w omeprazole in the oral paste formulation. The product also features an apple-flavored formula designed for oral administration. Each syringe contains 2.28 grams of omeprazole and is designed to provide adjustable dosing based on body weight. Always review the product label and consult your veterinarian if you have questions about ingredients or suitability for your horse.

How is Gastrobim different from GastroGard and UlcerGard?
Gastrobim, GastroGard, and UlcerGard all contain the same active ingredient, omeprazole. The main difference is that Gastrobim is the first FDA-approved bioequivalent to GastroGard, meaning it was reviewed by the FDA and shown to deliver the same active ingredient comparably. GastroGard and Gastrobim are both prescription products, while UlcerGard is available over the counter and is labeled differently for a lower daily amount.

How should I store and handle Gastrobim?
Store Gastrobim at room temperature, generally between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C), and avoid freezing the product. Keep the syringe capped when not in use and store it in a clean, dry location. Once opened, the syringe should be used within 28 days. Proper storage helps maintain product quality throughout the recommended usage period.

Can Gastrobim be used in foals?
Yes. Gastrobim is labeled for use in horses and foals that are at least 4 weeks of age. The adjustable syringe allows the dose to be set according to body weight, making it suitable for horses of different sizes and ages.
