Treatment of
H. pylori

How is H. pylori treated?

Treatment protocols for H. pylori will differ by region as there will be differences in strains and infection loads. The current conventional approach is usually initiated by the physician with the regime commencing with one course of standard 7-days triple therapy with Clarithromycin, Esomeprazole and Amoxicillin as the first-line treatment. Triple therapy is a combination of medications consisting of a proton pump inhibitor (e.g. esomeprazole, rabeprazole), used to suppress the acid production (heart burn and acid reflux etc.) taken along with two other commonly available antibiotics.

The choice of antibiotics used for an infected patient has to be carefully assessed and decided by your medical professional.

If you think you may have H. pylori please consult your medical practitioner.
