Gastrofen is a natural complementary feed paste that neutralises stomach acid and soothes the lining of the stomach — protecting inflamed areas from further acid attacks and supporting recovery from gastric ulcers. Signs your horse may have gastric ulcers include poor appetite, weight loss, dull coat, sensitivity around the mid-region when girthing, digestive upsets, and reduced performance. Gastrofen is a natural alternative that supports the stomach without interfering with digestion — unlike conventional drugs, it does not block stomach acid. For any horse on conventional drugs, Mervue recommends using Pro-Bio Forte alongside Gastrofen for best results. Formulated by Mervue Laboratories, Ireland — since 1986.
Feed one 80 ml serving per day — 40 ml before the morning feed and 40 ml before the evening feed. Feed for a minimum of 14 days, or longer as recommended by your veterinarian. Always ensure fresh water is available. Available in 80 ml syringe.
