Question: What is the name of the antibiotic they use to treat stomach ulcers?
dosage and length of time?

Answers:

You're probably thinking of the intense regime for h. pylori.

"A proton pump inhibitor combined with two antibiotics has been shown to be very effective in clearing H pylori from the stomach. The current recommendation is treatment with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor for 2 weeks. Triple therapy regimens that are effective include a proton pump inhibitor combined with clarithromycin and metronidazole or amoxicillin and metronidazole"

and..

"The standard antibiotics are clarithromycin (Biaxin) and amoxicillin. Some doctors substitute the antibiotic metronidazole (Flagyl) for either clarithromycin or amoxicillin."
