A member asked:

After taking prevpack triple therapy for 14days, if no more h pylori symptoms do i still need to test again? if so how long after the treatment?

Not necessarily : If you are symptom free, no need to repeat test.

Probably not: If you desire confirmatory testing it can be performed at virtually any time after a presumptive successful course of therapy. Good luck.
