Boehringer Ingelheim Equitop Pronutrin

The active ingredient of Pronutrin is Apolectol, a patented pectin-lecithin-glycerine complex. The pectin component of Apolectol counteracts gastric acidity through a prolonged postprandial increase in pH, inhibition of bile acid reflux, and stabilization of the natural gastric mucus. At the same time, the lecithin-glycerine component strengthens the water-repellent protective layer on the gastric mucosa. In this way, Apolectol provides the gastric mucosa with double natural protection. Pronutrin can be administered to horses at increased risk of developing gastric ulcers. Pronutrin can be administered to horses suffering from gastric ulcers, in addition to management practices and, if indicated, medicinal treatments.
