Taking Helicobacter pylori medication may be related to the side effects of the medication, but it is normal and does not require any special treatment.
The treatment of Helicobacter pylori generally adopts “quadruple therapy”, that is, two antibiotics (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, etc.), a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole), a bismuth agent (bismuth potassium citrate). And these drugs can cause irritation to the intestinal tract, leading to increased gastrointestinal motility, which can cause increased bowel movements.
In addition, after taking bismuth drugs, the symptom of black stool may occur, which is a normal drug reaction and does not require special treatment.
If the symptom of more frequent bowel movements persists after taking Helicobacter pylori killing drugs, it is recommended to communicate with your doctor in time and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
