licorice + lotus root powder + amoxicillin

A combination therapy that pairs low-dose amoxicillin (an antibiotic) with licorice and lotus root powder for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Amoxicillin is an aminopenicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Glycyrrhizin, the main active component in licorice, demonstrates antibacterial properties by inhibiting bacterial growth through targeting bacterial enzymes, affecting cell membrane formation, and altering membrane permeability. It also has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. The combination approach may help reduce the required dose of amoxicillin while maintaining efficacy against H. pylori.
