Elicorid is a specialized, clinical-grade combination medication specifically engineered for the targeted treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. It contains two synergistic active ingredients: Clarithromycin (250mg) and Tinidazole (500mg). This dual-antibiotic approach works by simultaneously inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and disrupting the DNA of anaerobic microorganisms. It provides a foundational solution for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) when used as part of a comprehensive "triple therapy" regimen, effectively preventing ulcer recurrence and promoting rapid mucosal healing.
Product Type: Combination Antibiotic (Macrolide + Nitroimidazole)
Active Ingredients: Clarithromycin (250mg) + Tinidazole (500mg)
Manufacturer: Various (Quality-Assured Global Standards)
Pack Size: 10 or 14 Capsules (Blister Pack)
Route: Oral
Availability: Strictly Prescription Required (POM) — Requires clinical diagnosis
Suitable For: Adults undergoing H. pylori eradication or treating infected ulcers
Elicorid is a primary clinical choice for intensive gastrointestinal "cleansing":
H. pylori Eradication: Eliminating the primary bacteria responsible for chronic stomach inflammation and recurring ulcers.
Peptic Ulcer Disease: Treating active ulcers in the stomach or duodenum that have been infected by bacteria.
Chronic Gastritis: Reducing severe stomach lining inflammation caused by persistent bacterial colonization.
Combined Infections: Managing digestive tract infections where both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are present.
The "Alcohol" Rule: Do NOT consume any alcohol while taking Elicorid and for at least 72 hours after your last dose. Tinidazole causes a "disulfiram-like reaction," which can lead to severe nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and extreme flushing. Heart Rhythm: Clarithromycin can affect the electrical activity of the heart (QT prolongation). Consult your specialist at Sanlive if you have a history of heart disease or are taking heart medications. Liver Health: Macrolide antibiotics are processed by the liver; report any yellowing of the eyes (jaundice) or dark urine immediately. The "Full Course" Rule: You must finish the entire pack as prescribed, even if you feel better after two days. Stopping early allows the bacteria to become "antibiotic-resistant."
For maximum efficacy, Elicorid is almost always used in combination with an acid-blocker like Pariet (Rabeprazole) or Getzome (Omeprazole).
Standard Dosage:
Adults: Typically one (1) capsule twice daily (morning and evening) for 7 to 14 days.
Application Tips:
With Food: Take your dose with or immediately after a meal to reduce the risk of stomach upset and the "metallic taste" often associated with Tinidazole.
The "Triple Therapy" Stack: For successful ulcer healing, you must take your acid-blocker (the PPI) 30 minutes before your Elicorid dose.
Avoid Antacids: Do not take "liquid" antacids (like Gestid) within 2 hours of your Elicorid, as they can interfere with the absorption of the antibiotics.
Consistency: Space your doses exactly 12 hours apart to keep the bacterial suppression constant.
Common side effects include a temporary metallic or bitter taste in the mouth, nausea, diarrhea, or dark-colored urine (which is harmless). Some patients may experience a "coated" tongue or minor headache. If you experience severe, watery diarrhea (which could be C. diff), a persistent skin rash, or sudden dizziness, contact Sanlive Pharmacy or your doctor immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct moisture and sunlight. Keep the capsules in their original blister packaging. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Why do I have to take "Three" different drugs for my ulcer?
A: Ulcers caused by H. pylori are stubborn. You need the two antibiotics in Elicorid to kill the bacteria and a third drug (a PPI like Pariet) to stop the acid so the wound can actually close.
Q: Can I take it if I am "Pregnant"?
A: Elicorid is generally avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. Consult your specialist at Sanlive Pharmacy before starting this treatment.
Q: Why does my mouth taste like "Metal"?
A: This is a very common side effect of Tinidazole. Drinking plenty of water or using sugar-free mints can help manage the taste until the course is finished.
Q: What if I "Miss a Dose"?
A: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Never take a double dose.
