Doing it concurrently: the susceptibility test involves biopsies.
I will have to do a follow up endoscopy some time after this therapy.
When I personally talked to the gastroenterologist she seemed to be unfamiliar to that procedure, not knowing exactly where they would do that susceptibility test but certainly not at the institute.
I have recently found an article that mentioned that the European directive is to do that test before the 2nd line of treatment!…
Today I started the 3rd line therapy/attempt.
The Amoxicillin 1g box has 16 so I'll try to do 3x daily for 5 days, as you suggested.
I'm 1.74m (5.7f) tall & around 62Kg (136p). Is that dosage Ok?
Important: I have seen some references — and the Amoxicillin's insert also states this — that the dosage specifically for H. Pylori should be 1g 2x a day, whereas other infections have superior dosage recommendations. Could there be a reason why in this particular case oh H.P. more Amox is less?
I need the most efficacy.
If H. Pylori is unlikely to gain resistance to Amoxicillin then why did my 1st triple therapy (20170806SUN—20170820SUN Triple Therapy: 14+1 days of Cipamox (Amoxicillin) 500mg + Klacid (Clarithromycin) 500mg + Omeprazole 20mg) fail?
The pharmacist gave me a generic Amoxicillin. The package insert mentions its active substance is Amoxicillin in the form of Amoxicillin Trihydrate. Is this Ok?
Regarding the addition of Bismuth: I found Ranitidine (Bismuth Citrate) 150mg, a little expensive but sold without a prescription. Is this Ok?
I'm taking the Rabeprazole in the morning & evening. How can I fit the Ranitidine?
You've said before that you didn't do any changes to your patients diet & still got high success rates.
The thing is: what is your average patient's diet like?
Mine is plant-based so it may contain a lot of calcium & iron. Maybe I should mimic a poorer diet when I take antibiotics.
