Achieving optimal eradication of H. pylori has proven difficult. Combination regimens that use two or three antibiotics with a proton pump inhibitor and/or bismuth are required to achieve adequate rates of eradication and to reduce the number of failures due to antibiotic resistance. In the United States, up to 50% of strains are resistant to ...
Several anti-ulcer dosing regimens that combine antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (PPI) to treat helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) induced peptic ulcer disease (PUD). The role of antibiotic in the therapies is to eradicate H. pylori, while the action of PPI is to reduce gastric acid secretion. The anti-ulcer dosing regimens generally repair ...
The H 2 receptor antagonists are a class of drugs used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells in the stomach, decreasing the production of acid by these cells. H 2 antagonists are used in the treatment of dyspepsia, although they have been surpassed in popularity by the more effective [1] proton pump inhibitors.
Proton-pump inhibitors and antibiotics should be discontinued for at least 30 days prior to testing for H. pylori infection or eradication, as both agents inhibit H. pylori growth and may lead to false negative results. [135] Testing to confirm eradication is recommended 30 days or more after completion of treatment for H. pylori infection.

The role of H. pylori in functional dyspepsia is controversial, and treatment for H. pylori may not lead to complete improvement of a patient's dyspepsia. [6] However, a recent systemic review and meta-analysis of 29 studies published in 2022 suggests that successful treatment of H. pylori modestly improves indigestion symptoms. [18]
[4] [examples needed] Treatment includes medications such as antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors. [1] During an acute attack drinking viscous lidocaine may help. [9] If gastritis is due to NSAIDs these may be stopped. [1] If H. pylori is present it may be treated with a combination of antibiotics such as amoxicillin and ...
Bismuth subcitrate potassium is a bismuth salt used in combination with antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections. [1] [2] A fixed-dose combination with the antibiotics metronidazole and tetracycline is sold under the trade name Pylera. [3]
