Medical uses
Vonoprazan/amoxicillin is indicated for the treatment of H. pylori infection in adults.[1][5]
Research
The dual therapy of using vonoprazan with amoxicillin has been investigated for the treatment of H. pylori infection[6] and also compared with the triple therapy of using vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin for the eradication of H. pylori infection.[7] Both treatments have been found to be effective.[6][7] As of 2024,[update] evidence indicates that vonoprazan/amoxicillin therapy has similar efficacy to bismuth-containing quadruple therapies in eliminating H. pylori.[8]
