Is Antibiotic Treatment Of Amoxsan And Comtro The Right Method Of Treatment For H.Pylori Infection?
Question: I have just been diagnosed as having h.Pilori and the hospital here in Bali, Indonesia are wanting to prescribe me Amoxsan 2000 mg/day in divided dose + Comtro 1000 mg/day in divided dose for 14 days. Have no idea if this suggested treatment is the most effective or perhaps at the opposite end if the spectrum something like Pure Cambogia Ultra http://Jeffwaldo.com/fenzkwq.php or even Matula Herbal Formula see http://www.super-natural-herbs.com/matula.php#sell which states
I have been told in mainstream medicine, the choice of treatment is currently very limited and doctors really have only 2 options, both of which have many negative side effects, and with failure rates as high as 70% being reported. Matula Herbal Formula has been suggested as way more effective and safe.
Please advise best course of action as I have been thinking to go to Bumrungrad in Bangkok as they have my medical records there but am also thinking if what Siloam hospital here in Bali have prescribed is indeed a safe and effective cure without side effects this then it may be best policy to stay put and start their treatment asap. Please advise

Brief Answer:
h.pylori infection is resistant.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
See h.pylori infection has high tendency to reoccur. In fact we only treat the people who are symptomatic.
h.pylori infection is transmitted through oro-fecal route and it is said that most of the population carries it but we treat only those who are symptomatic.
The drugs of choice are Amoxycillin, Clarithromycin, Tinidazole.
So we give a 14 days course of these antibiotics as you have been prescribed but the bad news is that the infection reoccurs!!
As far as the the Matul herbal formula is concerned, you can consider it following the treatment with these antibiotics as it may help in the recurrence.
As far as the effectivity of XXXXXXX herbal formula is concerned it has a doubtful effectivity. People have varies responses.
So in my opinion go ahead with the antibiotics first for 14 days followed by this herbal medicine.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.

Please would you advise if Amoxsan and Comtro are suitable substitutes for the drugs of your choice being Amoxycillin, Clarithromycin, Tinidazole.
and if you would agree with the suggested dosage of Amoxsan 2000 mg/day in divided dose + Comtro 1000 mg/day in divided dose for 14 days.
This together with Nexium
Could this condition have been contracted by my picking up our dogs' poo by hand to throw away?

Brief Answer:
They are the same.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Amoxsan is Amoxycillin and Comtro is Clarithromycin.
Yes, the dose given on this state is this only as adviced by your doctor. This has to be taken with a Proton Pump Inhibitor like Nexium. So, you may start the regimen and if you get any side effects, please see your doctor.
It is very difficult to comment that you contracted it by picking up your dog's poo or not, as this can be contracted by any oro-fecal route.
I hope it helps.
Good Luck.
