Anti biotic question

Hi everyone! It's highly suspected I have h.pylori... tests came negative but I wasn't told not to take gaviscon at the time so they think I had a false negative...doctor wants to treat me for pylori to see if it helps symptoms and if I don't feel better it will be a priority referral for the constant stomach pain and heartburn I get. I've been given Clarithromycin, metronidazole and stomach tablet. Do I take these all at the same time? I stupidly forgot to ask pharmacist when I picked it up and google isn't telling me much except potential interaction between the two anti biotics. Just want to know if I take together in the morning or space apart a few hours (Clarithromycin two times a day, metronidazole 4 times a day and stomach tablet 2 times a day) thank you :)

Ring the dispensing pharmacist and ask them.

Good luck!

@elllyyyyyy you didn’t have any issue taking these together? I’m on Clarithromycin for an incision infection 3 weeks post C-section .. this was given by my GP 4 days ago. However prior to this 11 days ago I had gone to my maternity unit for a swab of my wound.. since I hadn’t heard back this is why I rang GP. Today I’ve been told I need Metronidazole as well bc of the particular bacteria found. Just worried as the two together said can increase irregular heart rhythm and be potentially life threatening ?
