Triple treatment: Using, the treatment for an ulcer caused by the bacteria h pylori would be 2 antibiotics and an acid blocker. Before treatment, however, you should be tested to establish that you have that bacteria, and that what is causing you discomfort is actually an ulcer.

9 yards: It s not only about an antibiotic, or one medication. A general dr, or GI specialist will most likely study the case, determine the cause of the ulcer, and offer the alternatives for a specific case. Many causes and treatments exist, all of them good for its indication; and it s always better to personalize it based on preferences / particularities of the patient.
