⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Lansoprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor, so it reduces the amount of acid the stomach produces. Amoxicillin is a penicillin antibiotic. It stops bacteria from building their cell walls, by blocking the cross-linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that form a major part of the cell walls of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It stops bacteria from growing by interfering with their protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and so blocks the translation of peptides.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
No adequate and well-controlled studies have been done in pregnant women. So lansoprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin together should be used during pregnancy only if the likely benefit to the mother justifies the possible risk. Amoxicillin passes into human milk in very small amounts. Because serious adverse reactions are possible in nursing infants, a decision should be made either to stop nursing or to stop the medicine, taking into account how important the treatment is to the mother.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
