Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been diagnosed with H.pylori. Looking for a natural remedy don t really want to take the aggressive antibiotic. Does Manuka honey really work for H.pylori? How long should it be taken for results? If not what would you suggest. Thank you for your time.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
H.Pylori infection needs to be treated and can be eradicated by means of triple drug regime. You need to take any of the 3 drug combinations such as
1. Amoxicillin + Clarithromycin + Lansoprazole orally two times daily (morning and evening) for 10 to 14 days.
2. Clarithromycin + Pantoprazole + Tinidazole all given twice daily for 10 to 14 days. The combination of above medication is available in the form of kit and also provides a proper information related to its intake. Kindly seek medical attention in case you need any clarification as to how to use the kit, if necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
