My understanding is that it's pretty expensive to treat 
ulcers in horses using Gastrogard - something like 
$1000/month.  I have some friends going the Gastrogard route 
now.

I've heard of other people who have used the generic form of 
Tagamet(CIMETIDINE) for their horses at a much lower cost. 
An example of Canadian costs below with no prescription 
required is:

TAGAMET, Generic, 300mg, 180 Tablets, $23.40. TAGAMET, 
Generic, 400mg,
180 Tablets, $36.04. TAGAMET, Generic, 600mg, 180 Tablets, 
$40.89.

Has anyone on the list used the generic Tagamet successfully 
for the treatment of ulcers in an equine?

Mike
