There are 100 patients with recognized H.pylori infection who could terminate this study. At first, these patients treated by four-drugs regime for 2 weeks, then they treated with Omprazole for 1 month. Successful eradication was determined as negative Urease Test with Carbon 13. The average of individual ages was 38±11.78 years old. 57% of patients were men.
