Ulcerguard is a medication that contains ranitidine. It's the same drug that's in Zantac for humans.
Gastrozole contains the drug omeprazole.
Omeprazole and rantidine work in slightly different ways to lower the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Reducing the acid levels in the stomach can help the ulcer to heal.
You might be thinking of Gastrocoat that is made by Kohnke's Own. This contains whey. It doesn't contain any drugs that help reduce acid production.
