AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
PYLORI-CHEK BREATH TEST is a non-invasive diagnostic agent using carbon-13 labeled urea to detect Helicobacter pylori infection via breath analysis. Patients ingest the oral solution, and if H. pylori is present, the bacteria metabolize the labeled urea, releasing carbon-13 dioxide that is measured in exhaled breath. This is a diagnostic tool rather than a therapeutic drug.
