Prevacid (lansoprazole) for duodenal ulcers caused by H. pylori
August 1997
The FDA just approved using Prevacid (lansoprazole) for duodenal ulcers caused by H. pylori.
It's approved as part of a new triple therapy regimen with Prevacid 30 mg...clarithromycin 500 mg...plus amoxicillin 1 g. Patients take all three drugs BID for 2 weeks.
Combining clarithromycin (Biaxin) and amoxicillin increases efficacy...and might decrease resistance.
