Hi,
Pylokit should be taken before food. Pylokit Kit is a combination of three medicines: Two antibiotics (Tinidazole & Clarithromycin) and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach. To ensure adequate absorption from the gut and better efficacy, the kit should be taken on an empty stomach before food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
