Be wary of this, loads of the long term ones have reflux disease (AKA
Losec deficiency syndrome) where HP eradication not much use. If you
can simply identify proven DU group though...
We did this a couple of years ago and only saw prescribing drop after
eradication in the proven ( or very good history of..) DU patients.
