Amoxicillin, being a penicillin-type antibiotic, interferes with the construction of bacterial cell walls, leading to their collapse and eventual death.
Clarithromycin, which is a macrolide antibiotic, halts the growth of bacteria by suppressing their protein synthesis, which is essential for continued bacterial growth and reproduction.
Pantoprazole, categorized as a proton pump inhibitor, reduces the production of stomach acid by obstructing the proton pumps present in the gastric parietal cells. This action reduces acid-related damage to the stomach and duodenum. Together, these three components work towards eradicating H. pylori infection and promoting ulcer healing.
