Akums receives Indian marketing approval for vonoprazan-based Helicobacter pylori combination kit
Akums has received Indian marketing approval for a fixed treatment kit combining vonoprazan, clarithromycin and amoxicillin for adults with Helicobacter pylori infection.
The 14-day regimen combines a potassium-competitive acid blocker with two antibiotics to support eradication of H. pylori, a major cause of peptic ulcer disease and an established gastric cancer risk factor.
The approval adds a new packaged treatment option in India for H. pylori eradication and may simplify delivery of guideline-based combination therapy.
