h.pylori is a germ that researchers have found accounts for stomach ulcers. Treatment with regimens that include antibiotics can remove the germ and make it possible for the ulcer to heal.

H. Pylori is a bacteria that lives in the lining cells of the stomach and can increase the risk of getting gastritis and ulcers. When it is present, it is a good idea to treat it and the regimen your doctor prescribed sounds appropriate. Be sure to take the entire prescription. Do not stop early. Good luck.
