Standard treatment for H. pylori infection often includes amoxicillin, typically combined with other antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor. A common regimen uses 1000 mg of amoxicillin orally twice daily.
However, the precise dosage depends heavily on factors such as patient age, weight, and overall health. Your doctor will tailor the dosage to your individual needs, considering potential drug interactions and your medical history. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration of treatment; never adjust the amount or frequency on your own.
Children’s dosages vary significantly based on their weight and age. A pediatrician will determine the appropriate amount. Always consult a medical professional for guidance on pediatric treatment, as incorrect dosage can be harmful.
