Hello. I am being treated for helicobacterter and would like to write about the main drugs tetracycline and meteronizadol. I'm worried because I have stomach pains, dizziness, nausea, high fatigue. The gastroenterologist told me to endure it, because it's worth it, but is it really worth it? I do not want to change medications, because I spent a lot on them and I do not know what to do. Maybe I take too little probiotic, because one a day. How to help yourself? Especially with abdominal pain and nausea.

Gastrointestinal complaints can and are caused by the treatment itself and should disappear after its completion. Metronidazole tablets can be taken with food, such as a meal or snack, to reduce upset stomach. Tetracycline should be taken between meals (minimum 1 hour before or 2 hours after). If you want to include a probiotic, it is worth investing in a product with proven effects. The most scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of probiotics in the eradication of H. pylori concerns strains of Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces boulardii, e.g.: Heliprox: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/100866/heliprox-kapsulki/apteki HelicoGastrin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/112638/helicogastrin-kapsulki/apteki Enterol 250: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27293/enterol-250-kapsulki/apteki Quick relief from abdominal pain will also be brought by antispasmodics, e.g.: No-spa: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/54554/no-spa-tabletki/apteki Please remember that side effects of medicines should be reported not only to the doctor, but also individually. By reporting side effects, you help other patients, including your loved ones, who may also need the same medicine one day. This step also allows you to gather more information on the safety of medicinal products and to update data on them.
