    Amoxicillin is sometimes used to treat anthrax. This prescription medication can be used to prevent anthrax infection if someone is exposed. Also, if there is already a skin anthrax infection present, amoxicillin can be used for treatment. Talk with your doctor about possible treatment options with amoxicillin.
