Symfaxin (venlafaxine) does not affect the test result for Helicobacter pylori, so there is no need to discontinue this medication before the test. However, it is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, as some of them (e.g. proton pump inhibitors or antibiotics) may affect the test results. In case of doubt, it is always worth consulting your attending physician.
Can I do a helicobacter pylori test or discontinue it while taking symfaxin?

Flucofast, used to treat oral candidiasis, should not affect the result of a stool test for Helicobacter pylori. As recommended, after discontinuing proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), wait 2 weeks before testing for H. pylori. Since this period has already passed, you can perform the test on Monday.
If you are taking other medications that could affect the result, consult your attending physician. If you need more personalized advice, you can use teleconsultations here:
Does Flucofast for oral candidiasis affect the result of the stool test for Helicobacter Pyroli, should I refrain from taking it before the test, or can I do the test? , I was taking PPIs before, now I had to wait, on Monday I can already do tests, because it will be two weeks since then
