A member asked:

Do i have to separate the pepto bismol from the tetracycline in a treatment for h pylori? i was told to take it all together.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take as directed: These medications work synergistically versus H. pylori. That is, they work better together against this particular bacterium. Take as directed. I hope you are feeling better soon.
