Hello
One PyloKit pack contains two capsules of lansoprazole (30 mg), two tablets of tinidazole (500 mg) and two tablets of clarithromycin (250 mg). One pack is for one day treatment. From this specially designed pack, one capsule of lansoprazole, one tablet of tinidazole and one tablet of clarithromycin is to be taken in the morning and similarly one each in the evening. The duration of therapy recommended is for seven days.
 PyloKit is indicated for the eradication of H. pylori in active chronic gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcers.
Three tablets in morning and evening after food.
Thanks
