Amoxicillin is used to treat many different types of infections caused
by bacteria, such as ear infections, bladder infections, pneumonia,
gonorrhea, and E. coli or salmonella infection. Amoxicillin is also sometimes
used together with another antibiotic called clarithromycin (Biaxin) to treat
stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. This combination is
sometimes used with a stomach acid reducer called lansoprazole (Prevacid).
