Hello,

I understand your concern. There are other quite effective alternative treatment regimens for the eradication of H. Pylori, available for people who are allergic to penicillin (and amoxicillin) such as:
1. Omeprazole, Clarithromycin and Metronidazole for 7 days
2. Ranitidine, Tetracycline and Metronidazole for 7 days
3. Rifabutin, Clarithromycin and omeprazole for 10 days, and
4. Levofloxacin, Clarithromycin and Omeprazole for 10 days.

Please consult with your doctor in order to get a prescription for the treatment that suits you best.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
