You'll See More "Concomitant" Quadruple Therapy for H. pylori

March 2017

You'll see changes in preferred drug regimens for H. pylori.

Triple therapy with a PPI and two antibiotics (Prevpac, etc) will fall out of favor. It's not as reliable now that clarithromycin resistance exceeds 15% in many parts of North America.

Expect to see a shift based on new guidelines...with more use of QUADRUPLE therapy and treating for 14 days instead of 7 to 10 days.
