<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Infection in Clinical Practice: Probiotics and a Combination of Probiotics + Lactoferrin Improve Compliance, But Not Eradication, in Sequential Therapy

Abstract

Probiotics associated with ST provide optimum therapeutic compliance compared with the placebo and, despite the need to take a larger number of tablets, they should be taken into consideration as an adjuvant to therapy for H. pylori infection. The addition of LF to the PB did not bring about any further improvements in compliance. As compared with the placebo, the eradication rate of ST did not improve by adding LF + PB or by using PB alone.
