No more PPI for H Pylori?

The study from the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) no longer recommends proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as the preferred treatment for H. pylori infections.

Instead, bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) is now the first-line treatment due to rising antibiotic resistance, particularly to clarithromycin and levofloxacin.

Bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) for H. pylori includes the following agents:
1. Bismuth subsalicylate 300 mg, take 1 tablet four times daily.
2. Tetracycline 500 mg, take 1 tablet four times daily.
3. Metronidazole 500 mg, take 1 tablet three times daily.
4. H2-receptor antagonist (e.g., famotidine 20 mg), take 1 tablet twice daily.

Do not administer Metoclopramide in patients who are on Cabergoline therapy; Metoclopramide is a dopamine antagonist whereas Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist, this will lead to diminshed therapeutic effect of both medications due to “Antagonism”.

Use alternative.

Mebendazole ❌ Metronidazole = Increase Risk of Life Threatening Skin Condition ⬆️⚠️

Mebendazole (commonly used brand Vermox) is an anthelmintic or anti-worm medication, use to treat infections caused by worms such as whipworm, pinworm, roundworm, and hookworm infections and it works by preventing newly hatched insect larvae (worms) from growing or multiplying in the body.

💊On the other hand, Metronidazole (mostly used brand Flagyl) is commonly used antibiotic, belonging to the nitroimidazole class of antibiotics. It is frequently used to treat gastrointestinal infections as well as trichomoniasis and giardiasis, and amebiasis which are parasitic infections.

⚠️But using mebendazole and metronidazole together can enhance the adverse effects of metronidazole and can also increase the risk of rare but serious life threatening skin condition i.e Stevens-Johnson syndrome which is a severe allergic reaction that can cause a rash, blistering, and peeling of the skin.

📢Therefore, it is important to avoid their co-administration. If needed, switching to alternative medication can be a best option like Mebendazole with Tinidazole or Albendazole with Metronidazole which has no or far less toxic interaction.
