Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

AMOXYCILLIN-750MG + CLARITHROMYCIN-500MG + PANTOPRAZOLE-40MG

Uses:

Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease.

Medicinal Benefits:

Pleze-HP Kit combines three drugs: Pantoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin. Amoxicillin is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and prevents the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Clarithromycin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, i.e., it stops the growth of bacteria but does not necessarily kill them. It works by inhibiting the protein synthesis process required for bacterial cell growth. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production in the stomach. Thereby reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Altogether, Pleze-HP Kit helps in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease.

FAQs

Pleze-HP Kit is used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease caused by infection with a common type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It works by inhibiting the action of gastric proton pump and preventing the growth of micro-organisms.

Speak to your doctor if you do not feel better even after taking Pleze-HP Kit for 14 days. Do not take Pleze-HP Kit for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor.

Pleze-HP Kit may cause dizziness. Drive only if you are alert and omit driving and operating machinery if you feel dizzy after taking Pleze-HP Kit.

Avoid or limit the consumption of alcohol while on Pleze-HP Kit as it may lead to increased dizziness. Alcohol intake may also lead to excess production of stomach acid, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Pleze-HP Kit. Drink enough fluids and eat fibre rich food if you experience diarrhoea after taking Pleze-HP Kit. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience excess diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Pleze-HP Kit contains pantoprazole, which may increase the risk of bone fracture in the hip, spine, or wrist. Recent clinical studies indicated that pantoprazole may affect the absorption of certain nutrients and minerals required for maintaining good bone health, leading to fractures. This mainly occurs in people taking higher doses of Pleze-HP Kit for longer durations. Inform your doctor before taking Pleze-HP Kit if you have osteoporosis or if you are already taking corticosteroids.

Dry mouth could be a side effect of Pleze-HP Kit. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking, drinking enough water, and chewing sugar-free gum or candy might help stimulate saliva and thereby prevent dryness of the mouth.

Inform your doctor if you don’t get better after finishing the full course of treatment. Also, let your doctor know if your symptoms are getting worse while using Pleze-HP Kit. Your doctor may need to reassess your condition, possibly perform additional tests, and prescribe a different treatment if necessary.
