Enhancing Helicobacter pylori Eradication: The Role of Probiotics Pretreatment

Highlight

• Probiotic pretreatment increases the Helicobacter pylori eradication rate by approximately 10% compared to standard eradication therapy alone.
• Probiotics pretreatment significantly reduces eradication therapy-related side effects, potentially improving patient compliance.
• Optimal efficacy is observed with probiotic pretreatment durations of 14 days or longer prior to eradication therapy.
• Consistent benefits across geographic regions, eradication regimens, and probiotic formulations suggest broad applicability.
