I am still trying to figure this drug out. The pharmacy guy said there are no antibiotics in this drug.
huh? When I look it up and talks about antibiotics in this drug. Her dr is pushing this drug yet I feel from what I have read about it, it is not good for someone with pn. Anyone here take this drug? |
On Wiki it lists the following statement about omeprazole being use WITH antibiotics for Helicobator pylori. I think you must have confused other similar statements, thinking the drug contains the antibiotic, when it's actually just used in conjunction with them.
"As a therapeutic adjuvant in treating Helicobacter pylori related ulcers Omeprazole is combined with the antibiotics clarithromycin and amoxicillin (or metronidazole in penicillin-hypersensitive patients) in the 7–14 day eradication triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omeprazole The drug is simply a protein pump inhibitor |
ohhhhhh!!!!!
Yes, I think you are correct, I did misunderstand what I read. :( thanks!!! |
Thanks for clearing that up, been on omeprazole for some time now and nearly fell over when I read that.
Best wishes to all, Linda |
