QUADRUPLE THERAPY FOR H.PYLORI ULCER
The American College of Gastroenterology recommends either triple or quadruple therapy as first-line for treating ulcers caused by H. pylori.
Quadruple therapy is a good first choice for patients who have recently used a macrolide or are allergic to penicillin. The course should last 10 to 14 days.
