Hello pharmacist! The pharmacist asked me, I saw Scurma fizzy products on TV when I saw Scurma fizzy products, so can Scurma fizzy completely cure HP and stomach problems when taking only 1 type? And this is a drug or a functional food, the introduction does not specify this. Please answer the pharmacist, because I am on treatment for HP. Thank you pharmacist!

Hello, pharmacist would like to answer the question: “Can Scurma fizzy completely cure HP and stomach problems? ” as follows:
Scurma fizzy is an effervescent tablet with curcumin extracted from turmeric produced in the form of microscopic particles (nanometer size) to increase solubility and absorption. This is a functional food, not a drug and does not have the effect of replacing medicine. Therefore, in case you are being treated for HP, you should follow the regimen prescribed by your doctor. Typically, the treatment regimen for HP will include 2 antibiotics in combination, a medicine to reduce gastric acid secretion and possibly other drugs to increase the effectiveness of the drug and/or reduce gastrointestinal symptoms (if yes). Treatment for HP usually lasts at least 2 weeks and requires follow-up appointments to make sure HP has been completely eradicated. In some cases, HP bacteria can become resistant to the drug leading to treatment failure, then the doctor may have to do more tests to determine the right antibiotic for you.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or the Hospital of Vinmec Health System for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
