How long does H. pylori treatment take?

Treatment usually lasts 10 to 14 days, depending on the antibiotics prescribed. Doctors typically use triple or quadruple therapy to eliminate the infection. It’s very important to take all medicines as directed and not stop early, even if you feel better. Stopping treatment prematurely may lead to antibiotic resistance and treatment failure. After completing the course, a follow-up test is often recommended 4–6 weeks later to confirm the infection is fully cleared.
