One DVM believes it's risky and not worth your time or money to use drugs from compounding pharmacies on your horse

As we've told you in our initial news story and Dr. Deb Eldredge's blog, the FDA has warned several companies with products they claim treat ulcers. The products are:

• AbGard
• Abler Omeprazole
• Abprazole
• Abprazole Plus
• Gastro 37 OTC
• Gastroade Xtra
• GastroMax 3 (marketed by Horse Gold, Inc. and Horse PreRace)
• Gastrotec (marketed by Horse Prerace and Tri-Star Equine Marketing, LLC)
• Lomac Equine
• Omaktive Oral Paste
• Omeprazole Oral Paste
• Omeprazole/Ranitidine Oral Paste
• Omoguard Paste
• UlcerCure OTC

So, why am I talking about this again? Because I believe equine health is at stake here and many horse owners do not fully understand the point of the warnings. 

First, as most of us know, the FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. That's an important job.
