OBJECTIVE: To observe the Hp eradication situation and safety of three kinds of drug regimen in the treatment of active chronic gastritis with helicobacter pykori (Hp) infection. METHODS: 150 active chronic gastritis patients with Hp infection were randomly divided into group A (50 cases), group B (50 cases) and group C(50 cases). Group A received Omeprazole enteric-coated capsule 20 mg, orally, twice a day+Amoxycillin capsules 1.0 g, orally, 3 times a day+Clarithromycin tablet 0.5 g, orally, once a day. Group B additionally received Colloidal bismuth pectin capsule 150 mg, orally, 3 times a day. Group C received Omeprazole enteric-coated capsule 20 mg, orally, twice a day+Amoxycillin capsules 1.0 g, orally, 3 times a day, 1-5 d, Omeprazole enteric-coated capsule 20 mg, orally, twice a day+ Clarithromycin tablets 0.5 g, orally, once a day+Metronidazole tablet 0.4 g, twice a day, 6-10 d. All patients treated for 10 d. Effective rate of pain relief, relief time of pain and gastrointestinal symptoms, Hp eradication rate, recurrence after 12 follow-up and the incidence of adverse reactions in all groups were observed. RESULTS: Effective rate of pain relief and Hp eradication rate in group C were higher than group B, followed by group A, relief time of pain and gastrointestinal symptoms, recurrence rate in group C were lower than group B, which was lower than group A, with significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in group C was lower than group A and group B, with significant differences (P<0.05); while there was no significant difference in group A and group B (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Taking omeprazole in stages combined with antibiotics can effectively relieve abdominal pains, shorten disease course, improve Hp eradication rate, reduce long-term recurrence rate in the treatment of active chronic gastritis with Hp infection, with good safety.
