I wanted to take Amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and omeprazole for 14 days for my h pylori.But unfortunately I took lansoprazole instead of amoxicillin.So I took Lansoprazole, clarithromycin, and omeprazole twice a day for 7 days.I understand that lansoprazole and omeprazole both are proton pump inhibitor.
So what should I do now?Should I take Amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and omeprazole for the next 7 days?Or do I need to start over? I really want to know if I can take amoxcillin for 7 days and the other omeprazole and clarithomycin for 14 days.Please

very interesting mistake. yes, you can continue your triple therapy immediately after the 7 days of PPI and clari. This method is so called sequential therapy, although the antibiotics used may be different.
