Biaxin is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including strep throat, pneumonia, sinusitis, tonsillitis, acute middle ear infections, and acute flare-ups of chronic bronchitis in adults. Biaxin is also used to treat skin infections and when combined with lansoprazole or omeprazole and amoxicillin, duodenal ulcers caused by H. pylori bacteria. Biaxin XL is the extended-release tablet form and is used for sinus inflammation, bronchitis flare-ups, and community-acquired pneumonia (see separate Biaxin XL entry). In children, Biaxin tablets and granules are used to treat bacterial infections including sore throat and tonsillitis, pneumonia, acute middle ear infections, and skin infections.
