Abstract excerpt
Current regimens for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori consist of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) plus one or two antibacterial agents, such as amoxicillin (AMPC), clarithromycin (CAM) or metronidazole (MNZ). PPIs are mainly metabolized by S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylase (CYP2C19) in the liver. The polymorphism of CYP2C19 is associated with the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PPIs. Eradication rates by...
