Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. HP kit would be recommended for persons suffering H.pylori infection of stomach causing gastritis. It basically is a course of 3 tablets to be taken for 10 to 14 days. Nexpro HP kit is composed of Clarithromycin 500 MG, Esomeprazole 40 MG and Amoxicillin 750 MG. Clarithromycin belongs to class of medications called macrolide antibiotics. Esomeprazole belongs to class of medications called proton pump inhibitors. Amoxicillin belongs to a class of antibiotic medicines called penicillin. You need to take Esmoprazole on empty stomach in the morning. Following that you need to take A-Morning tablet after lunch and B-Evening tablet after dinner. Total of 3 tablets per day for 14 days, as advised by your doctor. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
