What is Pylera? 

Pylera is a prescription medicine used (generally in combination with the drug omeprazole) to treat peptic ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. It is a combination medicine. Each Pylera capsule contains three ingredients: bismuth subcitrate potassium, metronidazole, and tetracycline.

Take your medicine with a full glass of water. Swallow the Pylera capsule whole. Do not chew or crush. Do not take Pylera with milk or antacids. 

Take this medicine for the full length of treatment, even if you start to feel better. If you skip doses, your infection could become resistant to medication.  

Store Pylera at room temperature. Keep away from direct light, heat, and moisture. Keep each capsule in the blister pack until you are ready to take it. 

If you miss a dose of Pylera, take it as soon as you can. However, if it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once. If you miss more than 4 doses, consult your health care provider for guidance.
