i have to go for pylori stool antigen test .. i have been taking esomeperazole for three months for indigestion. my question is that ... do i have to stop taking esomeperazole before going for stool h pylori test ??
just esomeprazol doesn't eradicate or kill H pylori so u can use omeprazole before h pylori test .
if H pylori test is positive then take its regimen to eradicate this bacteria from root
regimen is
cap Esomeprazol 40 one tab at empty stomach daily for 2 weeks
Tab clarithromycin 500mg 1+1 for 14 days
Tab amoxil 1gm or Flagyle 1+1 for 14 days
Tab motilium 1+1+1 at emty stomach .
Ispaghol husk 1+1 teaspoon
note.. motilium and ispaghol is not part of this regimen..
Nope
U can continue Esomeprazole
Because Esomeprazole has no effect on H Pylori. It just Improves the symptom.
keep taking this medication and go for test.
when you have the report book an online appointment with me on Marham
no need to stop taking medicine for test
No u can go for test without stopping eskmeperazole
there is no indication for stoping this esomeprazole keep complete you 2.5 months and continue your H pylori test
follow up your conditon status on weekly basis after test
thanks for contacting

Yes, for at least one week.
nope...
ideally you would need to stop Omeprazole 2 weeks before the stool test for H Pylori antigen.
