Hi My name is Lesa and I am 43 years of age. A year ago I had some reflux issues and doctor decided an gastroscopy was in need. Thats when they found the Pylori.
We tried 2 lots of tripple therapy to no avail over the last nearly 12 months.
Tomorrow I start my Quadrouple therapy I can only hope this is the best perscription for me. My doctor was going to suggest a specialist however he thought this quadrouple medicine is what he would suggest before the next step, so we decided to try this first... well he did!
I am as of tomorrow( delay because they had to make up the Bizmuth here as we didnt have it in Aust) I am on .... the following>
2 tablets a day of Doxycyline Hydrochloride 100mg
1 tablet daily of Pantoprazole ec( pantoprazol sod sesqihydrate) 40mg
3 tablets of Metronide( Metronidazole) 400mg
1 daily of collodial bizmuth 120mg
What are my chances of this killing the Pylori once and forall?? I recently got an ulcer (pains in belly) and went on medication for that. Waited 5 weeks then had the breath test which was positive.
I hope i can get some help here... Its very hard to find correct information on Pylori. Is this medication my best chance now or should have i seen a specialist?
Thank you... Hope to hear from someone asap as I have to start this medication tomorrow morning.
Also...I am apparently allergic to Pencillin ( from childhood) and the doctor says there are no tests to prove otherwise? is this true...should I perhaps have a allergy test to penicilin now that Im at attempt no 3??
Thanks
Lesa
