WELCOME TO HCM,
The available regimen for h.pylori eradication are1) omeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin for 10 days;2) bismuth subsalicylate, metronidazole, and tetracycline for 14 days; and3) lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin which has been approved for either 10 days or 14 days of treatment.NOW FAILURE RATE ARE SIMILAR FOR EACH REGIMEN AND DEPENDS ON AN INDIVIDUAL.
BUT I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO DO UREA BREATH TEST AFTER 4-12WEEKS FOR ERADICATION AND REPEAT ANOTHER REGIMEN IF H. PYLORI ARE STILL PRESENT I PESONALLY BELIEVE 2ND AND 1ST REGIMEN ARE BETTER
BUT WAIT TO SEE YOUR RESULTS
