This type of pneumonia occurs commonly in patients whose immune systems are not working normally, such as patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Inhaled pentamidine does not prevent illness in parts of the body outside the lungs. Pentamidine may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Pentamidine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
