HELLO. MY STOMACH HURTS. THE ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND DID NOT SHOW ANY ABNORMALITIES SO THE DOCTOR SUSPECTS ULCERS. HE PRESCRIBED ME A HELICICIDE AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE WHOLE PACKAGE, WHICH IS 30 TABLETS. AFTER THE MEDICATION, THE PAIN PASSED. HOWEVER, 4 MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE TREATMENT AND THE PAIN HAS RETURNED AGAIN. MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG CAN I TAKE HELICID? IS THERE A TIME LIMIT? THE DOCTOR TOLD MY FRIEND TO TAKE IT FOR A YEAR, WHICH SURPRISED ME VERY MUCH. PLEASE HELP.

According to the available information, the total duration of treatment with Helicid depends on the diagnosis made. The average time, in the case of acute conditions, is from 2-4 to a maximum of 8 weeks, while in preventive therapy for recurrence of stomach diseases, the preparation is used chronically. The length of taking the preparation is decided by the doctor based on the symptoms, medical history and diagnosis. Therefore, if you have a recurrence of symptoms, you should contact your doctor, perhaps he will decide to use the drug again.
