Chlorine Dioxide for H. pylori: Current Evidence and Standard Therapy

Chlorine dioxide has been investigated as an H. pylori treatment, but evidence is insufficient to confirm efficacy or safety. Standard eradication therapy remains a combination of antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin, amoxicillin, metronidazole) plus a proton pump inhibitor. Do not self-treat with chlorine dioxide; consult a gastroenterologist.
