A member asked:
Why doctors also prescribe ppi like nexium (esomeprazole) that reduces stomach acid along with clathromycin & amoxicilln when treating h pylori?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulcers: H.pylori can cause gastritis and stomach ulcers so perhaps if you were symptomatic they want to decrease the acidity to promote wound healing and decrease the inflammatory response.
