Helicobacter Pylori Therapy

Helicobacter Pylori Therapy

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that can infect the stomach and cause gastritis, ulcers, and even stomach cancer. Fortunately, H. pylori can be treated with antibiotics. Treatment for H. pylori typically includes a combination of antibiotics, such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). PPIs reduce the amount of acid in the stomach and help the antibiotics to work better. The antibiotics used to treat H. pylori are typically taken for one or two weeks, depending on the type of antibiotic. During this time, it is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is also important to finish all of the medication, even if you feel better after a few days. Stopping the medication too early can cause the infection to come back. Your doctor may also recommend taking a PPI in addition to the antibiotics. These medications work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach. This makes it easier for the antibiotics to fight the H. pylori bacteria. The PPI is usually taken for four to eight weeks, depending on your doctor’s recommendation. After completing the H. pylori therapy, your doctor may recommend further tests to make sure the infection is gone. These tests may include a breath test, stool sample, or endoscopy. Depending on the results of these tests, your doctor may recommend additional treatments or follow-up tests. H. pylori therapy is usually very effective and the infection can be cured in most cases. However, it is important to finish all of the medication as prescribed by your doctor and to follow up with your doctor if you have any concerns.
