You appear to have been treated for H. pylori infection with a 14-day HP kit. The medicines prescribed afterward are usually meant to help with stomach healing, appetite, and gut recovery.
However, the exact dosage and duration should ideally be confirmed with the prescribing gastroenterologist, as it may vary depending on your diagnosis and symptoms.
General guidance:
* Ganaton Total: Usually taken before meals on an empty stomach, as advised by your doctor.
* Mirtaz 7.5 mg: Commonly taken at bedtime, as it can cause drowsiness and may help with appetite and gastrointestinal symptoms.
* Probiotics: Usually taken for a few weeks to a few months after antibiotic treatment.
* Shelcal XT: Generally taken after food and is often continued for several weeks to months depending on the indication.
Should you stop everything after 3 months?
* Do not stop or continue medications solely based on assumptions.
* Probiotics and
vitamin supplements can often be stopped once the prescribed course is completed.
* Mirtazapine may sometimes require reassessment before discontinuation, depending on why it was prescribed.
* A follow-up review with your treating doctor at the end of the treatment period is recommended.
Important:
If you were treated for H. pylori, it is often advisable to confirm eradication with a stool antigen test or urea breath test (typically at least 4 weeks after completing antibiotics and after stopping PPIs for the recommended period), especially if symptoms persist.
