Triple therapy...: The regimen most commonly recommended for first line treatment of h. Pylori is triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor (ppi), amoxicillin, and Clarithromycin for 7 to 14 days. Metronidazole can substitute for Amoxicillin in those patients with a penicillin allergy.

Antibiotics+PPI: H.Pylori is a bacteria that infects the stomache lining. The symptoms are usually upper abdominal pain and burning sensation, dyspepsia or gastritis. It can cause peptic ulcer disease and even stomache cancers. It can be cured by combination antibiotic treatment with amoxicillin, metronidazole, biaxin (clarithromycin) along with a proton pump inhibitor such as pantaprozole or omipprazole given for 10 to 14 days.
