Is there any contraindication for triple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori?

Patient's question:

I found Helicobacter pylori, and I have been taking Amoxicillin, Omeprazole, and Clarithromycin for a week. I forgot to take bismuth pectin prescribed by the doctor. Will this affect the treatment? Do I still need to take it now?

Doctor's answer:

There is Helicobacter pylori infection. Currently, taking omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and amoxicillin for Helicobacter pylori infection is not very effective for. Treating Helicobacter pylori generally requires taking four drugs, such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, amoxicillin, bismuth potassium citrate capsules, clarithromycin, etc. For severe Helicobacter pylori patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and treat according to the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
