Is this treatment a good combination
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2019 5:51 am
To make the story short, this is will be my 3 treatment to eradicate HP. I dont have any symptoms and it wasn't for the breathing test saying positive I will swear I don't have HP.
I had triple therapy twice . after the 1st treatment I had an endoscopy and it was negative but a few months after I had a breathing test and it was positive... My doctor believes that the endoscopy wasn't accurate and perhaps I never got rid off the bacteria.
After the second triple therapy I was still positive, so this time Dr. is prescribing quadruple therapy for 14 days, the problem is that I lost the prescription about a month ago so I went again to get a copy of the prescription and this time the medication is a bit different that the initial prescription:
First prescription was tetracycline of 250mg and Metronidazole of 500 Mg
the new prescription is :
Lansoprazole 30mg
Bismuth Subsalicylate 35.2 MG liquid
Metronidazole 250 Mg tablet (instead of the 500mg originally prescribed)
Tetracycline 500mg ( instead of 250mg )
I am a bit concerned about the new prescription and wondering which dosage is correct, perhaps the dr made the mistake on the dosage of tetracycline and metronidazole on my prescription ? any experience taking this combination. is this a strong therapy after failing Triple T. twice? Any advice would be appreciated.
