ANS: D
This patient does not have H. pylori ulcer disease, so dual and triple drug therapy with antibiotics is not indicated. Patients who fail treatment with a histamine2 blocker should be changed to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as lansoprazole. PPIs tend to inhibit gastric acid secretion up to 90 greater than the histamine antagonists.
