Suggest Treatment For H-pylori
This would be for a gastroenterologist and/or pharmacist. My daughter was recently diagnosed with h-pylori and has had difficulty tolerating any of the medications that have been prescribed (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, omeprazole, Pepcid AC, and pantaprozale). Because of her sensitivity would any of the OTC meds for gastritis help with her condition?

HI
If this is H. Pylori infection then prescribed medicine would be the best medicine, if patient is sensitive to this regime then particular drug can be replaced one, most probably antibiotic drug causes this, and this can be replaced accordingly, first this is important to know the sensitive drugs, if this is not severe reaction then this can be managed with antihistamine and no need to change it, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
