About Pantop HP Kit

AMOXICILLIN+CLARITHROMYCIN+PANTOPRAZOLE belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents which is used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease caused by infection with a common type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Peptic ulcers are sores (small, shallow wounds) that develop on the intestine and stomach's inner lining.

AMOXICILLIN+CLARITHROMYCIN+PANTOPRAZOLE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Pantoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin. Amoxicillin is bactericidal (kills bacteria) that works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Clarithromycin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic i.e., it stops the growth of bacteria but necessarily does not kill them. It works by inhibiting the protein synthesis process required for the growth of the bacterial cell. As a result, bacterial cells are not able to reproduce and grow. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid in the stomach. Thereby, reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Altogether, AMOXICILLIN+CLARITHROMYCIN+PANTOPRAZOLE helps in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease.
