"I called and asked where they get their Ulcergard. I received a call back of the company they buy ulcergard from to reassure it was the actual product. I appreciate Schneiders taking the time to assure the product is the actual Ulcergard. There have been fake products circulating around from various sellers that previously I unfortunately bought."
