How Long Should Lansoprazole Be Taken For H.pylori Infection?

Continue with Lansoprazole
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
Even if the tripple treatment has finished you should still continue to take lansoprazole until it clears the ulcer or gastritis (whatever you have been diagnosed with and caused by Helicobacter). In general it is 6-8 weeks, but it can be up to 12 weeks. Also, it is important to continue be careful with the diet- no spicy or fried foods, avoid acidic foods, ect.
Also the chills may be from another virus that you may have gotten meanwhile...what other symptoms you may develop, will give us more clues if that is the case.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
