Ask your doctor: Who prescribed these meds, but you can probably raise the dose of Lansoprazole slightly, or try another ppi, with your doctor's approval.

H pylori: A small percentage of time, the antibiotics prescribed for h pylori don't work and a different course/combination is needed. If you've completed course, talk to your doctor if this can be a possibility and if a retest for h pylori is warranted. Best of luck.
