CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Helicobacter Test INFAI may be used for
_in vivo_
diagnosis of gastroduodenal
_Helicobacter pylori_
infection in:
-
adults,
-
adolescents, who are likely to have peptic ulcer disease.
This medicinal product is for diagnostic use only.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
This medicinal product should be administered by a healthcare
professional and under appropriate
medical supervision.
Posology
Helicobacter Test INFAI is a breath test for single administration.
Patients from the age of 12 must
take the contents of 1 jar with 75 mg.
Method of administration
For performance of the test, 200 ml 100 % orange juice or 1 g citric
acid in 200 ml water for patients
from the age of 12 and older (as a pre-administered test meal), as
well as tap water (for dissolving the
13
C-urea powder) are necessary.
The patient must have fasted for over 6 hours, preferably overnight.
The test procedure takes
approximately 40 minutes.
In case it is necessary to repeat the test procedure, this should not
be done until the following day.
The suppression of
_Helicobacter pylori_
might give false negative results. Therefore the test shall be
used after at least four weeks without systemic antibacterial therapy
and two weeks after last dose of
acid antisecretory agents. Both might interfere with the
_Helicobacter pylori_
status. This is especially
important after Helicobacter eradication therapy.
It is important to follow the instructions for use adequately (see
section 6.6), otherwise the reliability
of the outcome will become questionable.
