I am being treated with Helicobacter pylori Pylera and IPP (mesopral).
I was recommended to use PPIs also after the end of antibiotic therapy for up to 90 days. It seems to me for a very long time in a situation where I don't have ulcers, erosions, reflux or any pain. And in general, I'm healthy, 60 years old. Does the modern treatment regimen suggest such a long time of PPI use after eradication?

After completion of Helicobacter pylori eradication, treatment with omeprazole or other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may be continued for some time depending on the patient's specific clinical situation. Omeprazole is used to reduce the secretion of gastric acid and promote the healing of the lining of the stomach and duodenum. In the case of patients with a high risk of recurrence of peptic ulcer disease or other complications related to high stomach acidity, the doctor may recommend longer use of omeprazole, perhaps this was the case in your case. If you have any further doubts - I encourage you to contact your doctor.
