Measure
(1) Reverse Hybrid Regimen
clarithromycin 500mg bid, omeprazole 20mg bid, amoxicillin 1gm bid, and metronidazole 500mg tid for 1 week, followed by omeprazole 20mg bid, and amoxicillin 1gm bid in the 2nd week. Reverse hybrid regimen: one-step two-phase (quadruple-dual) treatment

(3) Levofloxacin Quadruple Regimen
levofloxacin 250mg QD, omeprazole 40mg QD, nitazoxanide 500mg bid, and doxycycline 100mg QD for 10 days. (LOAD) Levofloxacin quadruple regimen: non-Clarithromycin non-Bismuth quadruple therapy
