Bad side-effects with treatment

Post by swami »

I had frequent small burps after eating.
My blood test results showed: Helicobacter pylori AB, EIA 2.30 with std range of 0.00 - 0.99
I started on Triple Therapy.
AMOXICILLIN 1000 mg
CLARITHROMYC 500 MG TAB ZYDU
METRONIDAZOL 500 MG TAB TEVA
OMEPRAZOLE 20.6MGDR CAP KAIS

It is day 3. I feel absolutely awful. Nausea, diarrhea, muscle spasms, burning pain in the stomach, sleeplessness, heart burn. I almost vomitted the last dosage that I took. Really feel like giving up.

Any opinions/support welcome.

3 days is not enough to kill off H. pylori. It would be good if you can hang on at least until day 6 or 7. Because you are taking Cla and Met together, I am afraid that stopping these two together may lead to resistance to both. If it becomes resistant to both, then you'll have to take even stronger antibiotics, such as tetracycline, furazolidone, levofloxacin, with greater side effects.

nausea, diarrhea, heart burn, etc can all be side effects of any of these antibiotics. Perhaps you can try some probiotics, or herbal medicine, tea, etc to calm your side effects.

However, you should check with your GP and get his opinion. if your current side effect is so severe that you have to be hospitalized. Then please make sure you stop the treatment.

Thank you.
My GP has now prescribed Peptol Bismuth along with the regime. I'm already taking probiotics.
Never realized that the treatment would be so miserable.

This may happen. But I think you should for a week and see the results.

I finally gave up treatment after 4 days after severe side effects. Most notably, a sharp pain in the top right of my abdomen.

After the treatment, I noticed that my symptoms had improved a lot. I got myself tested & my result came back negative. I'm fortunate to have gotten rid of this after 4 days of treatment. Thanks & good luck everyone.
