How it works
Tinidazole is an antibiotic. It makes the condition better by damaging the DNA of the bacteria and prevents the division & repair of baterial cells that cause infections
Lansoprazole belongs to the category of drugs called as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It's main action is a long-lasting reduction of stomach acid production that helps relieve acid related indigestion and heartburns.
Clarithromycin is an antibiotic that improves the condition by stopping synthesis of necessary proteins required by bacteria to carry out its important functions. Therefore, it prevents the bacteria from growing, and helps prevent the infection from spreading to
