eradication therapy

Eradication therapy refers to a medical treatment aimed at completely eliminating an infection, such as Helicobacter pylori bacteria from the stomach. This usually involves a combination of antibiotics to kill the bacteria and medications like proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid, creating an environment less hospitable for the bacteria. The goal is to completely clear the infection, preventing related conditions like ulcers or gastritis, and reducing the need for ongoing medication or future complications. The therapy is typically prescribed by a healthcare professional and is effective in resolving infections when followed correctly.
