Hi everyone I’m just writing on here to ask for some advice… I’ve been prescribed 2 antibiotics after I did a stool sample and I’m unsure on how to take them as I’m worried since 4 antibiotic tablets sounds Like too much to take a day I know when taking metronidazole I leave 8 hours between them but unsure of the levofloxacin tablets.

The best thing is to check with your pharmacist. They are pretty knowledgeable.

Is this for a positive h pylori test?If so it’s triple therapy with antibiotics and a ppi like omeprozole for a week or ten day’s
