A member asked:
If you had a gastric ulcer due to h pylori and took 40mg omeleazole a day but no antibiotics would it still heal? but just come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: H pylori requires more intense acid suppression and usually 2 abx to eradicate. Omeprazole only suppresses the symptoms without killing the bug.
