Efficacy of Omeprazole, Tetracycline, and 4 Times Daily Dosing of Amoxicillin in Helicobacter pylori Eradication in Limited Resource Area in Bhutan: A Prospective Randomized Trial (BHUTAN Study).

CONCLUSIONS: Fourteen-day regimen might be an acceptable regimen for H. pylori eradication in limited resource area such as Bhutan. Female and age ≥40 years should receive longer duration of treatment. This 14-day regimen could at least reduce the risk of developing H. pylori-associated diseases especially peptic ulcer with complications and gastric cancer which lead to many deaths in Bhutan.<br />.
