First‐Line Levofloxacin‐Based Triple Therapy Versus Standard Bismuth‐Based Quadruple Therapy for <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Eradication in Saudi Arabia: A Retrospective Single‐Center Study
Quadruple treatment based on bismuth is superior to triple therapy based on levofloxacin for eradicating <i>H. pylori</i> in Saudi Arabia and should be used as a first-line treatment. However, the 14-day levofloxacin-based triple treatment had an <i>H. pylori</i> eradication rate comparable to that of the 10-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy.
