At a glance
Amoxicillin + Clarithromycin + Rabeprazole Sodium Kit is a triple therapy used for H. pylori infection and peptic ulcer disease. It contains Amoxicillin (penicillin antibiotic), Clarithromycin (macrolide antibiotic), and Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor).
Indications
- Eradication of H. pylori infection
- Active chronic gastric ulcer
- Duodenal ulcer
- Peptic ulcer disease
Pharmacology
Amoxicillin: Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more penicillin-binding proteins, inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, resulting in bacterial lysis [citation:6].
Clarithromycin: Inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, causing antibacterial activity [citation:6].
Rabeprazole: Proton pump inhibitor that binds to H+/K+-exchanging ATPase (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells, blocking acid secretion [citation:6].
Dosage
Adult Dosage:
- Each strip (Rabeprazole 20 mg + Clarithromycin 500 mg + Amoxicillin 1000 mg) twice daily [citation:2][citation:12]
- Treatment duration: 7-14 days (usually 7 days, 14 days for severe cases) [citation:2][citation:4]
- Dosage and duration as per physician's advice
Hepatic Dose: No dosage adjustment needed with hepatic impairment [citation:7].

- Stop and inform your doctor immediately if you develop allergic reactions (rash, swelling of face/throat/tongue, breathing difficulties)
- Caution in severe hepatic impairment, gastric malignancy
- May increase risk of GI infections due to acid suppressive effects
- Do not use during pregnancy
