Influence of Omeprazole on Bioavailability of Bismuth following Administration of a Triple Capsule of Bismuth Biskalcitrate, Metronidazole, and Tetracycline
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of omeprazole on bismuth (Bi) bioavailability when given in a three-in-one capsule containing bismuth biskalcitrate, metronidazole, and tetracycline. Thirty-four healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to receive three capsules (each containing bismuth biskalcitrate 140 mg + metronidazole 125 mg + tetracycline 125 mg) qid alone x 6 days or the same treatment + omeprazole (OM) 20 mg bid. Blood was drawn at intervals for 24 hours after the last dose. After the last dose, mean (CV) C(min) for plasma bismuth was 2882 pg/mL (36%) and 1195 pg/mL (23%) (p< 0.001), with and without OM, respectively. Mean (CV) C(max) was 25493 pg/mL (69%) and 8061 pg/mL (28%) (p < 0.001) with and without OM, respectively. AUC(0-24) increased by 2.9 in presence of OM (p < 0.001). Adverse events in both groups were usually mild and of a gastrointestinal nature, and all had resolved by the end of the trial. This study confirms an interaction between Bi biskalcitrate and OM. Risk of Bi toxicity, seen after long-term use of Bi compounds, is minimal here because plasma levels of Bi remained well below the toxic levels of 50 microg/L, and the treatment period with this triple capsule + OM is only 10 days, a substantially lower number of days compared to that which might produce Bi toxicity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
