Vonoprazan/amoxicillin, sold under the brand name Voquezna Dual Pak among others, is a co-packaged medication used for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.[1] It contains vonoprazan (as the fumarate), a potassium-competitive acid blocker and amoxicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic.[1]

The co-packaged medication was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2022.[1][2][3][4]

Medical uses

Vonoprazan/amoxicillin is indicated for the treatment of H. pylori infection in adults.[1][5]

Research

The dual therapy of using vonoprazan with amoxicillin has been investigated for the treatment of H. pylori infection[6] and also compared with the triple therapy of using vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin for the eradication of H. pylori infection.[7] Both treatments have been found to be effective.[6][7]
