Multiple factors can contribute to H. pylori eradication failure

Rising antibiotic resistance

Treatment complexity and
suboptimal patient adherence

Insufficient acid suppression

The importance of acid suppression should not be overlooked¹

Antibiotics like amoxicillin and clarithromycin are less effective in acidic environments
H. pylori bacteria are most vulnerable to eradication at neutral or near-neutral pH levels

ACID SUPPRESSION HELPS MAINTAIN pH LEVELS THAT CAN ENHANCE ANTIBIOTIC EFFECTIVENESS^2,3

Acid suppression is important because it improves the stability and effectiveness of antibiotics in H. pylori therapy¹
