Popis: Objective: To determine the efficiency of two amoxicillin/clavulanate galenical formulations (suspension and capsules) in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in peptic ulcer patients. Design: Two groups of patients suffering from peptic ulcer and with positive antrum and corpus culture for H. pylori were treated with: (1) amoxicillin/clavulanate capsules and (2) amoxicillin/clavulanate suspension. The dosage in both groups was 500/125 mg orally every 8 h for 21 days. Omeprazole was also administered (40 mg/day for 30 days) in both groups. Follow-up visits were scheduled 8 days after antibiotic therapy and 3 months later. Methods: Thirty-nine adult patients with peptic ulcer disease diagnosed by endoscopy and with positive H. pylori culture in the biopsy specimens of gastric antrum and corpus were studied
