Can the use of PPIs (Helicid Control) affect the result of the pharmacy test for Helicobacter Pylori?

Is it possible to perform a test from the pharmacy for helicobacter pylori if you have been taking a proton pump inhibitor (helicid control) for 7 days? The point is, will it affect the result? And if it does, how much after discontinuation the result will be reliable?

The use of PPIs may affect the result of the Helicobacter Pylori test. For the result to be reliable, the drug should not be used 2 weeks before the test. With the help of our portal you can order/book over-the-counter preparations and pick up at the pharmacy or choose home delivery.
