Question about pentamidine prophylaxis for PCP
Hello all,
Can those of you who have had pentamidine breathing treatments as prophylaxis for PCP give me the details of your treatment?
For example:
Was it done on an out patient basis in the hospital?
In a doctor's office/clinic?
Were you premedicated?
Side effects?
Assuming your treatment prescription was for a 15 minute treatment, did you have to stay afterwards for monitoring, etc.? Were you in and out within 30 min or so?
Did a nurse/doctor/respiratory therapist remain with you during the treatment?
Thanks,
Wendy/mom to Grant
