Abstract

Bismuth-containing quadruple therapy is an effective alternative first-line therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a modified twice-a-day bismuth quadruple regimen (BQT-2) with low-dose (1000 mg total) metronidazole as first-line therapy for the eradication of H pylori.
