Hi all,
Need some help.
I tested HP positive via a stool test on 03/04/2016
Started triple therapy on 03/31/2016. Clarithomycim 500mg 2 x20 days, Metronidazole 500 mg 3x10 days and 40mg Omprazole once daily
Retest on 05/09/2016 via a stool test. Positive.
05/13/2013 put on quadruple therapy. Tetracycline 500mg 4 x 14 days, Metronidazole 250 mg 4 x 14 days,20mg Omprazole one a day and bismuth subsalicylate 262mg 2 tablets 4 times a day for 10 day. Had to take the antibiotics and the bismuth at least 2 hours apart to stop possible interaction.
I just stopped the Quad treatment after a full 10 days. I could not continue the treatment. The side effect were to much. I think the Dr put me on the second course to quickly after the first course.I tolerated the first course without any problems.
Do you think 10 days of the quad treatment will be enough.The dosage seem quite high and from what i have read the standard Quadruple therapy treatment time(pylera ?)is usually 7 to 10 days. Would the 4 extra days have made much difference?
Thanks for the support
