Amoxicillin + Clarithromycin + Esomeprazole is an anti-ulcerative combination.
Amoxicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic. It fights against bacteria by blocking their ability to form the protective cell wall, thus allowing water to enter and cause them to burst.
Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It works by interfering with the protein synthesis of bacteria, specifically by binding to their 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting their growth and multiplication.
Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It functions by blocking the final step in stomach acid production, thereby reducing the amount of acid that is produced in the stomach.
