HOW PYLOKIT KIT WORKS

Pylokit Kit is a combination of three medicines: Tinidazole, Clarithromycin and Lansoprazole. Tinidazole is an antibiotic which kills the bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections by damaging their DNA. Clarithromycin is also an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Together, they treat your infection effectively. Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and prevents acid-related indigestion and ulcers.
