It must be taken in combination with an antibiotic and another form of antacid. (Specifically, one antibiotic, one proton pump inhibitor and one H2 blocker - which is the Zantac.)
Does the drug zantac treat the bacteria Helicobacter pylori?
no, its an anti acid treatment, it doesnt attack any bacteria at all.
Reply:Zantac is just a strong antacid. To treat H.pylori you need a long course of many different antibiotics. It is very hard to treat.
Reply:No , to treat Helicobacter requires usually 3 different medications ,physician preference, antibiotic, proton pump inhibitor such as Prevacid, Prilosec and many physicians add pepto bismol as well. If your are currently on treatment and using pepto bismol don"t worry when you see black stools, normal for pepto bismol.After successful treatment Zantac can be used as a maintenance drug for reduction of acid
