generally we would encourage patients to finish the antibiotics if the side effect is mild.
patient will have to stop antibiotics if the side effect is too severe. such as vomit, rashes, cant wake up from bed, difficulty walking, breathing, etc.

clarithromycin is usually quite safe. talk to your doctor about your concern.

Is he on standard triple therapy? if he is, i dont think it's the side effect of the antibiotics. If he is on quadruple therapy, which antibiotics are he taking at the moment?

I think irregular heart beat is not a common side effect of the antibiotics. Anyway, seeing a cardiologist is a good idea.
Hello!

I'm back.

It's July and my fiancé has still tested positive for HP. (stool test)

He took a second opinion and this second GI advised him to take Clarithromycin, Amoxicillin and Pantoprazole for 10 days instead of 14 days (as prescribed by first doctor).

Day 2 of triple therapy and so far (knock on wood) no adverse symptoms like the first one, albeit some weird taste in his mouth after drinking the medicine. (which is expected)

His question is, is it ok to drink all three pills on one go or should there be a gap in between pills? He would drink pills with 15mins gap between pills as he was not sure if he could drink all three in one time (like one would drink vitamins). Does putting a gap between drinking pills make a difference?

Thank you for the feedback.

There is no difference taking the pill all at once or separately.
Most important is to spread out the time evenly when taking the pills. For example. if Amoxicillin is asked to take 3 times a day, then take it every 8 hours. If Clarithromycin is asked to take 2 times a day, then take it every 12 hours.

This is to make sure that the concentration of the antibiotics are maintained in the blood stream.

Hi there my helicobacter story started about 8 months I think. It all started when I was getting random left side chest pain which would come and go so I started to change my diet to see if that helped but it didn't. Then the pains started more frequently with nausea also starting. Then the tiredness started just feeling completely drained everyday. I was missing days of work here and there since August I was off nearly 10 days which is not normal for me. The chest pains started to be there everyday until one night I went to A&E thinking it was my heart but told me everything looked normal. So I went to the doctor s next day which he sent me for blood tests and stool sample but had wait three weeks. So in-between I was back at another doctor with pain he sent me for an ultrasound of my chest and chest x-ray all come back normal as well also booked me in for an endoscopy. Eventually bloods come back all clear but I tested positive of helicobacter pylori so was put on triple therapy for 7 days. I felt like death ( got severe back pain and left and right side chest pain) when on the antibiotics had to take full week off work but I finished the course properly. I was then still on lansopraszole after treatment felt a bit better but not my self symptoms eased a bit but still there.Then about 3 weeks after treatment I went for endoscope test (3 weeks ago today) and she said as soon as she went into my stomach she could see the helicobacter my stomach was full of it. Does that mean I still am infected? My chest pain started come back and feeling bad again what should I do ? Is it normal to feel like the pain is coming from heart area? I'm really worried about this pain and it is constant nagging sometimes sharp pain it's getting me really down and effecting my life massively. Pain can be in my back as well both sides, and chest pain both sides as well is this normal? Sorry for long story but I'm really lost what to do was so glad find this forum.

If endoscopy test is positive, then you are infected for sure

What therapy you used for 7 days?


Did you make stool or breath test?

Did you make stool or breath test?
That's what I was thinking if it was still visible in my stomach three weeks after taking amoxicillin, metrazprazole, omeprazloe triple therapy. Does helicobacter cause this much constant pain?A stool test came back positive for helicobacter but that was at start of October when that test was taken. I'm currently on emsopezarole they put me on that after my endoscopy told they were better than the lansopraszole that I was taking.
