Indications
Maxpro HP is used to treat and remove H. pylori bacteria in people with active chronic stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and gastric ulcers.
Pharmacology
Esomeprazole works by reducing stomach acid. Maxpro HP does this by blocking a specific enzyme that produces acid in the stomach. This effect lasts for more than 24 hours because the enzyme is permanently inhibited, and new enzymes need to be made to start acid production again.
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by stopping the formation of their cell walls, which results in the bacteria’s death.
Clarithromycin works by blocking the bacteria’s ability to make proteins, stopping their growth and spread.
Dosage & Administration
Take one tablet twice a day for 7 to 14 days, or follow your doctor’s instructions.
Interaction
