Medication compliance is a commonly known issue that results in individual and public health harm, especially when antibiotics are involved.
Two multicenter, randomized, double-blind studies have been conducted using a 10 day treatment regime of triple therapy, showing high rates of H. pylori eradication rates. Combined with clinical studies that eradication of H. pylori has been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence, the FDA has indicated Triple Therapy as the first line treatment for of patients with H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease.
By using this app, you can increase compliance for correctly completing a course of Triple Therapy for Duodenal Ulcer Disease patients by 20% or more (Fenerty et al, 2012).
