Helicobacter pylori, popularly known as H pylori, is a bacteria that infects the stomach, causing ulcer disease, gastritis (stomach inflammation), and stomach cancer. H pylori can be found in saliva, stool, and it is a cause of most ulcer cases. The bacteria can be transmitted through kissing, handshake, or other close contacts, transmitting faster in families and individuals in nursing homes and similar facilities.
The H pylori infection symptoms include a burning pain or ache in the abdomen, nausea, bloating, indigestion, loss of appetite, unintentional weight loss, and a pain in the abdomen that is worse than an empty stomach.

How H.Pylori Kits Work
H pylori kit consists of three medicines – Amoxicillin, Tinidazole, and Omeprazole, which treats intestinal/stomach ulcers caused by bacterial infections. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that prevents the development of the bacteria covering that is crucial for the bacteria to survive in the human body. Tinidazole gets rid of the ulcer-causing bacteria and other infection-causing microorganisms by destroying their DNA. Omeprazole decreases acid quantity in the stomach and treats ulcers and indigestion related to acid. Together, they get rid of your infection efficiently and effectively.
Why Use H.pylori Kit
H.pylori bacteria causes peptic ulcer – a condition in which severe ulcers or sores grow in the stomach’s inner lining. H.pylori kit brings down the amount of acid your stomach produces, averting additional harm to the ulcer as it gets healed naturally. This effectively relieves you of symptoms.

Complete the prescribed duration of use, even if you start feeling better before the due date. Stopping or concluding it early may return the ulcer and even make it more difficult to treat.
Stop using the kit and let your doctor know instantly if you start developing swelling on the face, breathing difficulties, or an itchy rash while using it.
