Mechanism of action

Amoxicillin and clarithromycin are macrolide and beta-lactam antibiotics that disrupt bacterial protein synthesis and cell wall integrity, respectively. Lansoprazole suppresses gastric acid production, creating an optimal environment for antibiotic efficacy and allowing ulcer healing. Together, this regimen achieves high eradication rates of H. pylori infection.
