Is It Safe To Take ESO Kit With Positive Pylori Test?
I have been prescribed eso kit 3 times now in a period of 3 years. Am still feeling constipation whenever i eat small amount of food and particularly when i any type of juice. My Pylori test still shows positive results. Do i continue with this medicine.

Hi,
ESO kit is a three drug therapy, and you have already taken it thrice over three years, and still are positive.
So, now its time you shift to the second line of four drug therapy, but for the prescription you need to see your local doctor...or you can ask him to prescribe the kit with the newer medicine - Ranitidine bismuth citrate (RBC) (Pylorid)
