Esclam Kit 7's – A Combination of Esomeprazole, Clarithromycin, and Amoxicillin for the Treatment of Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Peptic Ulcer Disease
Esclam Kit (7's) is a combination therapy containing esomeprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin, specifically formulated to treat Helicobacter pylori infection and peptic ulcer disease. Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, works by reducing stomach acid production, helping to heal the ulcer and relieve symptoms like heartburn and indigestion. Clarithromycin is an antibiotic that targets and kills the bacteria H. pylori, while amoxicillin works synergistically to further eliminate the infection. This combination therapy is highly effective in eradicating H. pylori, which is a key cause of gastric ulcers, and in reducing the risk of ulcer recurrence. The Esclam Kit provides an all-in-one solution for patients who require both antibiotic treatment and acid suppression for optimal healing and long-term relief from peptic ulcers.
How to Use Esclam Kit (7's)
Take one Esclam Kit tablet twice daily (morning and evening), or as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is recommended to take the tablets before meals for optimal absorption. The typical treatment duration is 7 to 14 days, depending on your healthcare provider’s instructions. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, and complete the full course of therapy even if you start feeling better to ensure the complete eradication of the infection.
