guidelines for the treatment of H Pylori infection, a 10-14 days of quadruple therapy with proton

pump inhibitor (PPI), bismuth, nitroimidazole, and tetracycline is recommended (Chey et al.,

amoxicillin could be used for the management.

The quadruple management of H Pylori includes the following drugs and should be

administered for 14 days;
