To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two 1-week low-dose triple therapy regimens for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.Eighty patients with H. pylori infection and peptic ulcer disease (n = 64) or functional dyspepsia (n = 16), with similar demographic and clinical characteristics, were treated for 1 week with either omeprazole 20 mg once in the morning and clarithromycin 250 mg and metronidazole 400 mg twice daily (OCM; n = 40) or with omeprazole 20 mg once in the morning and clarithromycin 250 mg and tetracycline 500 mg twice daily (OCT; n = 40). H. pylori infection was assessed by urease test, culture and histology performed before and 4 (or more) weeks after cessation of the eradication therapy.H. pylori infection was treated successfully in 38 out of 40 patients by OCM and in 26 out of 40 patients by OCT (95 versus 65%, respectively; P = 0.0015). The OCM regimen was well tolerated in all patients except for one who complained of epigastric pain. Three patients on the OCT regimen reported side effects (abdominal pain, diarrhoea, pruritus), two of whom discontinued the study medication after 1 day.The 1-week low-dose triple therapy comprising omeprazole, clarithromycin and metronidazole was highly effective in eradicating H. pylori and was well tolerated. The replacement of metronidazole by tetracycline resulted in a significant decrease in the eradication rate. |
