How can a Helicobacter pylori infection be treated?
If you’re diagnosed with an H. pylori infection, the most suitable treatment will be recommended by your consultant. Typically, this involves taking a proton pump inhibitor and 2 antibiotics for around 2 weeks. Another breath test may be arranged to check that the infection has been cleared after 4 weeks or so.
