Oral 0.2% hydrogen peroxide shown to be both safe and more effective than triple antibiotic therapy for H. Pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils.
The study used hydrogen peroxide concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 mg/ml in their experiments with Mongolian gerbils
The 2 mg/ml concentration was used for the shortened administration period of 10 days, which successfully eradicated H. pylori and prevented its recurrence
The treatment was shown to be more effective than the triple-drug therapy group, with H. pylori counts significantly decreasing by the 5th and 10th days of administration
Treatment Duration and Efficacy
The researchers initially tested a 14-day administration period but found similar efficacy with a shortened 10-day treatment protocol
After drug withdrawal, the H. pylori counts remained low in the hydrogen peroxide group, showing no recurrence, while the triple-drug therapy group showed significant bacterial recurrence.
