Some patients may require an additional four weeks of therapy.PEPTAZ (omeprazole) in combination with clarithromycin and amoxicillin, is indicated for treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or up to 1-year history) to eradicate H. pylori in adults.

    PEPTAZ (omeprazole) in combination with clarithromycin is indicated for treatment of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease to eradicate H. pylori in adults.
    Eradication of H. pylori has been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence.
    Among patients who fail therapy, PEPTAZ (omeprazole) with clarithromycin is more likely to be associated with the development of clarithromycin resistance as compared with triple therapy. In patients who fail therapy, susceptibility testing should be done. If resistance to clarithromycin is demonstrated or susceptibility testing is not possible, alternative antimicrobial therapy should be instituted.
