Specializes in Rheumatology

Yes or no.: Helidac (bismuth subsalicylate metronidazole and tetracycline) (bismuth subsalicylate) can be taken alone with ibuprophen, preferably one hour before the ibuprophen. If you are talking about the Helidac (bismuth subsalicylate metronidazole and tetracycline) triple regimen for h. Pylori infection...No!
