RESUMO

The addition of omeprazole to the classical triple therapy for eradication of He/icobacter pylori is suggested to enhance compliance through reducing ulcer symptoms and side effects, as well as overwhelming metronidazole resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects af a tive day administration period of omeprazole on metronidazole pharmacokinetics. Fourteen healthy male volunteers were selected. Plasma concentrations of metronidazole and its hydroxy-metabolite were measured by reversed phase HPLC with ultraviolet detection. Our results indicate that short-term treatment with omeprazole in healthy volunteers does not alter the extent or the rate of metronidazole absorption, and does not affect metronidazole clearance
