Treatment of Quadruple Therapy Combined with Saccharomyces boulardii Sachets on Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Report of 125 Cases / 医药导报

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss whether Saccharomyces boulardii sachets can improve the eradication rate and reduce some untoward effects of gastrointestinal tract when adding in the Helicobacter pylori (Hp) standard quadruple therapy.Methods 249 cases infected with Hp were randomly divided into control group(124 cases) and treatment group (125 cases).The control group was treated with standard quadruple therapycolloidal bismuth pectin capsules,100 mg,tid,po;furazolidone tablets,0.1 g,bid,po;amoxil capsule,1 g,bid,po;rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules,20 mg,qd,po.The treatment group was treated with Saccharomyces boulardii sachets(0.25 g,bid,po)besides.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.Evaluate the effect of Hp eradication rate by using the method of intent of treatment (ITT) analysis and consistent scenario set (PP)analysis.Results According to the ITT analysis,the eradication rate of control group was 89.52%,and that of treatment group was 96.00%.According to the PP analysis,the eradication rate of control group was 90.00%,and the rate of treatment group was 97.39%.Both analysis results showed the eradication rate of Hp in treatment group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.05).As for reducing the untoward effects such as nausea,inappetence,diarrhea,astriction and erythra,control group was obviously lower than treatment group (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with standard quadruple therapy only,adding Saccharomyces boulardii sachets can significantly improve the eradication rate of Hp and obviously reduce the untoward effects such as nausea,inappetence,diarrhea,astriction and erythra.It is worth to be generalized and applied in clinical practice.
