Indian data on cost and effectiveness of the standard first-line therapies for H. pylori eradication are scarce. Thus, the present study was aimed at comparing the cost and efficacy of two standard first-line therapies: Regimen I comprising pantoprazole (40 mg) plus amoxicillin (750 mg) plus clarithromycin (500 mg) (PAC) and Regimen II comprising rabeprazole (20 mg) plus amoxicillin (625 mg) plus metronidazole (200 mg) (RAM) %K Cost-effectiveness analysis %K Helicobacter pylori %K peptic ulcer disease %K perspective %K pharmacoeconomics %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5799951/
