Hello doctor! I am currently taking antibiotics to treat H. The doctor asked me if I need to divide the time of taking medicine to treat HP bacteria equally? Or just drink according to the meal of the day. For example, if a drug is taken 4 times a day after meals, should it be divided 6 hours apart or taken after meals? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank the doctor.

Hello. Currently, the treatment regimen for HP usually uses antibiotics for 2 weeks. However, drug-resistant HP bacteria are being used very commonly.
If you divide the dose evenly throughout the day, the drug concentration in the blood will change little during the day. However, dividing the time to take medicine to treat HP bacteria should not be done because it may affect your child's activities and sleep.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
