A member asked:

I just finished taking h.pylori antibiotic. i took nexium (esomeprazole) 1hoirs before meal and amoxicillin levofloxacin after meal. is it correct what i am taking ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Whether correct...: ...or not, you indicated the course of treatment is complete. Now what's needed is to assess the efficacy--was the H.pylori eradicated. Post-treatment testing is next in order.
