Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus and Vonoprazan, Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIBIOTIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Vonoprazan, Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin

Vonoprazan, Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin falls under ANTIBIOTIC DRUGS — the group Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus interacts with.

Theoretically, taking Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. rhamnosus.
L. rhamnosus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. rhamnosus preparations by at least two hours.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to keep in mind with this combo. Voquezna Triple includes two real antibiotics, amoxicillin and clarithromycin, and antibiotics don't know the difference between unwanted stomach bacteria and the friendly probiotic bugs in your L. rhamnosus capsule. If you swallow them at the same time, the antibiotics can kill off a good chunk of the live probiotic organisms, so you simply get less benefit from the supplement.

The good news is this goes one direction only. Your probiotic may be weakened, but it will not make the antibiotics or vonoprazan less effective at clearing your H. pylori, and it won't change your treatment or its side effects. To get more out of the probiotic, just space it at least two hours apart from your doses. When in doubt, your pharmacist can help you set up the timing.
