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!
