INTRODUCTION: eradication and its impact on the compliance. AREAS COVERED: management (Hp-EuReg). EXPERT OPINION: Poor compliance is correlated with significantly lower cure rates, and this is a unique modifiable source of H. pylori treatment failure. Eradication treatments have become complex, involving multiple drugs and dosing intervals. Thus, patient education is crucial; doctors must explain to the patient about potential temporary and most often harmless side effects.
