I HAD AN ENDOSCOPY W/BIOPSIES THAT CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR H.PLYORI,GASTRITIS,AND ESOPHAGITIS.  FIRST TWO WEEK TREATMENT CONSISTED OF AMOXICILLIN,FLAGYL, BISMUTH AND PREVACID.  IT HELPED ALOT BUT STILL IN PAIN.  NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO START A 2ND 2 WEEK TREATMENT OF TETRACYCLINE,AMOXICILLIN,BISMUTH AND PRILOCEC.  THE PHARMACIST SAID I SHOULDN'T TAKE TETRACYCLINE AND AMOXICILLIN TOGETHER, IT WOULD CAUSE A LOT OF SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS BUT AFTER DISCUSSING IT WITH A DIFFERENT DOCTOR, SAID IT WAS OK.  I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MIXING THE TWO AND ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DOCTOR DIDN'T FEEL THE FIRST TREATMENT DID THE TRICK.  ANY ADVICE YOU COULD GIVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
