Management/follow-up after H. pylori eradication therapy

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

This varies between H.pylori positive duodenal and gastric ulcers.

  • duodenal ulcers
    • should need no further treatment once successful eradication has been completed

  • gastric ulcers
    • require a further eight weeks of acid suppressive therapy after successful eradication

After triple therapy, maintenance therapy should only be required in a minority of patients, including those who have refractory ulceration and who have a history of complications (1).
