Thank you. His doctor decided to try with PBMT, despite high metronidazole resistance. He believes that with high doses of metronidazole 500 mg TID for 14 days, excellent cure rates can be achieved. Ciprofloxacin was left as a last resort.

Unfortunately I dont have the data for the cure rate of 10 days vs 14 days. it's probably 90% vs 94%. According to Prof Marshall, tetracycline works better than Doxycycline. But when you have no choice, doxycycline should do the job too. Rabeprazole should works fine with metronidazole. There are a...

So, my friend spoke to his GI and he proposed doxycycline instead tetracycline, since tetracycline is unavailable. Here's regimen: Rabeprazole 20 mg TID Bismuth subcitrate 120 mg QID Doxycycline 100 mg BID Metronidazole 400 mg TID All of this for 14 days. Do you think that this therapy is a good cho...

Helico expert Could you please write if there is difference in cure rate between 10 and 14 days of PBMT regime with previous metronidazole resistance? P. S. Unfortunately, tetracycline is unavailable. What about doxycicline instead tetracycline? Is there another efficient regime with penicilin alle...

Resistance to Metronidazole is high in this area, around 50%, and low to tetracycline. They prescribe rifabutin only for Tuberculosis.
What area is that?

Southeastern Europe, Balkan.

yup. rifabutin can also be used for H. pylori.

They keep rifabutin only for cases of tuberculosis, it's unavailable for h.pylori.

First line therapy failed - Clarithromycin, Metronidazole, Pantoprazole. Penicilin allergy.

Resistance to Metronidazole is high in this area, around 50%, and low to tetracycline. They prescribe rifabutin only for Tuberculosis.

If a person took Metronidazole twice during last year, would be a dose 400 mg TID sufficient to overcome resistance?

And could we take tetracycline with food, or is it preferable on empty stomach?

Could you please write correct dosage and duration of this regimen? 7, 10 or 14 days?

Is Rabeprazole BID enough instead TID? Does Pylopass and NAC increase eradication rate?
