How to take this drug
The typical adult dose is taken twice daily (morning and evening) for 7 to 14 days. Each dose usually includes Lansoprazole 30mg, Clarithromycin 500mg, and Tinidazole 500mg. Take all three medicines together, about 30 minutes before food. Swallow with a full glass of water. Follow the exact instructions on your kit pack.
What if I Miss a Dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.
Important for antibiotics
Always complete the full course even if you feel better. Stopping early can cause the infection to return and become drug-resistant.
What to watch out for
Complete the full course even if you start feeling better — stopping early can make the bacteria resistant and your ulcer will come back. Buy only from a licensed pharmacy, not roadside vendors, to make sure you get the genuine kit. Do not share this prescription with someone else who has similar symptoms — they need to see a doctor first.
