Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the efficacy of a b.i.d. quadruple therapy containing Pylera® or L. reuteri for H. pylori infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bismuth, metronidazole and tetracycline yielded high cure rates for H. pylori infection. Earlier studies suggested that the bismuth quadruple therapy may be effective when given twice-a-day rather than q.i.d. and that b.i.d. therapy was associated with fewer side effects. The addition of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri (Gastrus®) to Lactobacillus reuteri (Gastrus®) that has been shown to increase the cure rates by 10-14%. In another study bismuth supplementation with L. reuteri DSM 17938, in a modified low dose quadruple therapy provided good eradication rates (93.3%; 95% CI : 85-99%) in clinical practice.
