Biaxin is a macrolide antibiotic used for mild to moderate infections such as the lower respiratory system, tonsillitis, ear and skin infections. Penicillin is also a bacterial and other antibiotics medicine used in a similar way. It is not wise to take them together because they will just interfere with each other. it's like taken aspirin and ibuphrfren together. you only need one.
