A new drug called Pylera and a sequential drug regimen are raising questions about the best treatment for H. pylori.
Triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin BID is one of the most effective regimens for H. pylori. Suggest a 10- to 14-day course to reduce treatment failure.
