Helicobacter pylori treatment

The treatment for Helicobacter pylori primarily involves a quadruple drug therapy, which combines one proton pump inhibitor (such as omeprazole, rabeprazole), one bismuth-containing agent (such as colloidal bismuth subcitrate), and two antibiotics (such as amoxicillin, clarithromycin). This treatment regimen effectively inhibits gastric acid secretion, protects the gastric mucosa, and eradicates the bacteria. During treatment, patients should maintain healthy dietary and lifestyle habits, avoid irritating foods and beverages, ensure adequate rest, and engage in appropriate exercise. After completing treatment, follow-up testing is necessary to confirm whether Helicobacter pylori has been successfully eradicated.
