What is Nebupent and how is it used?

Nebupent is a prescription medication used to prevent pneumocystis pneumonia (PJP) in individuals with HIV/AIDS. Its active ingredient, pentamidine, is classified as an antiprotozoal agent. While typically used against parasitic protozoal infections, it is also effective against *Pneumocystis jirovecii*, the organism that causes PJP. It is prescribed for high-risk patients, such as those who have had a prior PJP infection or who have a severely compromised immune system due to HIV. Administration involves inhaling a 300 mg dose from a vial through a Respirgard II nebulizer, a process that takes 30 to 45 minutes. This may be done by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting or, after proper training, by the patient at home.
