Dear E-druggers
1. Is anyone familiar with a manufacturer/distributer of bismuth
subcitrate 120mg in small packages like 28 tabs for instance. (comparable
to De-Nol / De-Noltab 120mg which is only available in pack of 112 or 120
tabs to my best knowledge)?
The reason for this simple question is that some physicians who use
quadruple therapy (tetracycline, bismuth, metronidazole and a proton pump
inhibitor) for 7 days for the eradication of helicobacter pylori in peptic
ulcer patients find it odd that the packing of the drug is not in line with
current practice of treatment. Aknowledging that some of the reccommended
eradication treatments do not involve bismuth or at different dose.
2. Do you know of any good data on comparability between bism
subcitrate and bism subsalicylate as a part of helicobacter pylori
eradication treatment?
Please respond to me directly.
