Abstract
One of the most likely causes of the lack of effectiveness of eradication therapy of peptic ulcer associated with Helicobacter pylori, is a feature of omeprazole metabolism by cytochrome CYP2C19. The paper work presents evidence that the rate of reduction of the clinical picture and the likelihood of scarring ulcers and eradication rates higher in patients slow metabolizers of omeprazole.
