Which of the following medications is used for PCP prophylaxis?

1 answer

The medication commonly used for PCP (Pneumocystis pneumonia) prophylaxis is trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX). It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased risk of developing PCP, such as those with HIV/AIDS with a CD4 count below 200 cells/mm³, or those undergoing certain immunosuppressive therapies. If you have specific options in mind that you'd like me to evaluate, please provide them!
