Probiotic plus bismuth combo for stubborn H. pylori
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of a probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii) plus a standard bismuth-based four-drug treatment for people whose H. pylori infection has not been cured by previous treatments. It aims to see if adding the probiotic helps the treatment work better and cause fewer side effects.
