Quadruple Therapy schedule (h pylori)
I’m on Day 2 of Quadruple Therapy. Prescribed Tetracycline (500 mg- Twice daily), Flagyl (250 mg 4x daily), Bismuth (2 chewables 4x daily), Omeprazole (40 mg- once daily).
I received no schedule with my meds, only how many times a day to take each medication. There’s conflicting info on timing, food/no food… etc. I don’t want to mess this up. 😭 For those that successfully completed Quad Therapy, can you tell me if this schedule is ideal? Should I change anything?
