Inhaled pentamidine

Inhaled pentamidine is a medication used to prevent and treat a type of lung infection called Pneumocystis pneumonia, mainly in people with weakened immune systems. It is delivered directly into the lungs through a special inhaler, allowing the medicine to target the infection site effectively. This method reduces the need for injections and minimizes side effects compared to other treatments. It is typically used for high-risk patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS, to help prevent this potentially serious lung infection.
