“…Fig (6) is an old and cheap antimicrobial drug used particularly for giardiasis and cholera in developing countries [67][68]. Since 1991 it has been proposed in a 5 days treatment for H. pylori eradication, in association with amoxycillin and metronidazole, although with poor results (54% eradication rate) [69]. More recent studies performed in Brazil, Iran and China with a longer duration (14 days) of the treatment based on furazolidone associated with bismuth, an antisecretory drug -omeprazole, lansoprazole or ranitidine-and antibiotics -amoxicillin, tetracyclin or clarithromycin-obtained higher eradication rate (75%-96%) [70][71][72][73][74].…”

Helicobacter pylori infection has been indicated as the main pathogenic factor in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric malignancies. Although the vast majority of infected subjects do not carry but a mild, asymptomatic gastritis, still there are some cases in which the eradication of the infection appears mandatory. This review addresses current anti-Helicobacter regimens and pharmacological resources, and highlights the pros and cons of each of them, according to the most recent and reliable clinical trials. Also, basic recommendations are given, regarding treatment choice in the event of the failure of a first or second line eradicating strategy, and about the implementation of standard regimens with newer antibacterial devices as probiotics.
