Abstract

This study investigates the effect of adding Rebamipide to Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in Egyptian patients. Among 100 patients confirmed with H. pylori infection by tissue histopathology, those receiving Rebamipide showed a significantly higher eradication rate (88% negative results) compared to the control group (70% negative results), with a p-value of 0.027. There was no significant difference in side effects between the groups, although one patient in the Rebamipide group experienced a mild, transient allergic skin rash. The findings suggest that Rebamipide enhances the effectiveness of standard H. pylori eradication regimens without increasing adverse effects.
