Hpylori medication
I was given the prevpac  which I took for hpylori. I did not have any side effects apart from metallic taste. 2 years later, I was found to have hpylori again and was given the same prevpac. This time I was not able to tolerate the medications and had bad burning stomach due to the above medication. So had discontinued it. This was few years ago. The endoscopy done then showed normal esophagus, stomach and very slight redness in upper part of duodenum. I am on PPIs 40mg. I have heartburn and burning stomach even after taking it. The thought of taking the hpylori antibiotics scares me because of the above medication. Is there any other antibiotic I can take?? When everyone in your family has hpylori and mostly no symptoms (I know for sure they have it), is there any hope that I will not get it back even after taking the antibiotics??
