Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Omeprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor that reduces acid production in the stomach, but it alone cannot eliminate H. pylori infection. Bismuth subsalicylate has antibacterial properties against H. pylori and helps to reduce inflammation in the stomach. Metronidazole is an antibiotic that specifically targets H. pylori. Therefore, the combination of these three medications can effectively eliminate the population of H. pylori and treat the infection. The other options (A, C, D) are not accurate outcomes of this treatment.
