Product introduction

HP Kit is a combination medicine used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease by relieving the symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, stomach pain, and irritation. It works by killing the ulcer-causing bacteria H. pylori.

HP Kit is taken without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

The most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, headache, dryness in the mouth, and metallic taste. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any side effects. This medicine can also cause sleepiness and dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your sleepiness. Lifestyle modifications like having cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy food, or chocolate can help you to get better results.

Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. You should also tell your doctor if you have kidney diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for you.

In Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine).

It also contains antibiotics that prevent and treat any infection in the stomach or intestines. This helps you get relief from the symptoms more effectively. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.
