H.pylori kits

Anti ulcer & anti secretory drugs

Description

Pylokit H pylori Kit is a combination medicine that consists of Tinidazole and Clarithromycin and Lansoprazole. It is used in the treatment of Peptic ulcer disease caused due to an infection of the gastrointestinal tract by Helicobacter Pylori bacteria.

Mechanism of action

Tinidazole interferes with the bacterial DNA process and kills microorganism that causes infection. Clarithromycin works by blocking the protein formation essential for bacterial growth and replication.Use of a PPI makes the micro-environment surrounding H. pylori less acidic, which shifts the bacteria into a replicative phenotype, which makes it more sensitive to the effects of amoxicillin and clarithromycin (which are ineffective against non-replicating bacteria).Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and prevents acid-related indigestion and ulcers.
