Abstract
Background: Helicobacter pylori [H. pylori] infection is the main cause of most PUD; therefore, the eradication of H. pylori is extremely important in the treatment of PUD. There are several recommended treatment regimens suggested to eradicate this organism.
Aim: This study compared the efficacy of three anti-Helicobacter pylori regimens in patients with dyspepsia or peptic ulcer disease [PUD].
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of three anti-H Pylori treatments in patients based on C14 urease breath test [C-UBT] results, drug compliance, and adverse effects.
Methods: This randomized, open-label clinical trial included 136 H. Pylori-infected patients without prior treatment. Patients were randomly divided into three groups. The OAC group received 20 mg Omeprazole capsules twice a day, two 500 mg Amoxicillin capsules twice a day, and 500 mg Clarithromycin capsules twice a day for 14 days. The OAL group received 20 mg Omeprazole capsules twice a day, two 500 mg Amoxicillin capsules twice a day, and Levofloxacin 500 mg capsules twice a day for 14 days. The OAMB group received 20 mg Omeprazole capsules twice a day, two 500 mg Amoxicillin capsules twice a day, Metronidazole 500mg three times a day, and Bismuth 240 mg twice a day for 14 days. Evaluation for compliance and drug-related adverse effects were assessed at the end of two weeks. H. Pylori eradication was evaluated eight weeks after treatment using the C-UBT.
Results: A total of 136 patients participated in this study, and their groups were matched based on age and sex. The results of the C-UBT test showed that the eradication rate of H. Pylori was 82.2%, 91.3%, and 97.3% for the three-drug OAC, OAMB, and OAL treatment regimens, respectively. Moreover, all the regimens showed high compliance among the patients. Only OAC and OAL showed a significant difference in the H. Pylori eradication rate, and no superiority was found between OAMB and OAL or OAC therapies.
Conclusion: The regime of OAL achieved a satisfactory rate of H. pylori infection eradication with good tolerance in patients with PUD, without any acute side effects.
