Benefits of Helibact Kit

In Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Helibact Kit reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. It also contains antibiotics that prevent and treat any infection in the stomach or intestines. This helps you get relief from the symptoms more effectively. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

How Helibact Kit works

Omeprazole, Tinidazole and Amoxicillin, which treats stomach/intestinal ulcers due to bacterial infections. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and treats acid-related indigestion and ulcers. Tinidazole is an antibiotic which kills the bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections by damaging their DNA. Amoxicillin is also an antibiotic which works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering that is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Together, they eradicate your infection effectively.
