Default Drug Question

I'm still around here, always lurking, reading, keeping up. Hope you all are well.

I have a question about a drug the dr gave my mom for acid reflux, since she too has neuropathy, I wanted to ask if this drug is ok. I am a bit confused by something I read about it, it seems like it contains two anitbiotics???

Omeprazole

As a therapeutic adjuvant in treating Helicobacter pylori related ulcers

Omeprazole is combined with the antibiotics clarithromycin and amoxicillin (or metronidazole in penicillin-hypersensitive patients) in the 7–14 day eradication triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori. Infection by H. pylori is the causative factor in the majority of peptic ulcers.

If you have any opinion, that would be great! thanks!!
