H. pylori is the #1 cause of ulcers and a known carcinogen
 
 
 
 
Dear <<First Name>>,
 
H. pylori has been classified as a group 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization since 1994.1 Patients suspected of having an ulcer should be tested for H. pylori before being prescribed PPIs, and if they are infected they should be treated and tested again to confirm eradication.
 
Meridian’s HpSA® (H. pylori Stool Antigen)
Tests are the ONLY FDA-cleared, stool-based, 3-in-1 tests for diagnosis, monitoring, and confirmation of H. pylori eradication:
 
 
 
 
(1)  Test it.
  No fasting, no need to stop taking PPIs or H2 blockers
   
(2)  Monitor it.
  Know if therapy is working and help patients remain compliant
   
(3)  Test again.
  Collect a third sample and retest to make sure your patient's infection has been eliminated
