People with HP gastritis should take the medicine before or after eating?

Question
Hello doctor,
I went to the doctor and found out that I have a stomach ulcer and have a prescription for: Amoxicillin 500mg; Clarithromycin 500mg; Tinidazole 500mg; Esomeprazole 20mg. Take 1 pill in the morning, 1 pill in the afternoon. So the doctor told me to ask people with HP gastritis should take the medicine before or after eating? Thank you doctor.

Hello friends,
With the question “People with HP gastric ulcer should take the medicine before or after eating? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
My treatment regimen to kill HP is a 4-drug regimen without Bismuth, in which 2 types of Amoxicillin and are not affected by food should be taken before or after meals. Tinidazole is taken during or after meals, and Esomeprazole is taken 30 minutes before breakfast and before dinner.
If you still have questions about HP peptic ulcer, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
