| Mechanism of action | Sompraz HP Combipack is a combination of three medicines: Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin and Esomeprazole which treat stomach/intestinal ulcers caused by the bacteria. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic which works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Clarithromycin is also an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Together, they eradicate your infection effectively. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which reduces the amount of acid in the stomach and relieves acid-related indigestion and heartburn. |
