Why is Mepron prescribed?

Atovaquone (Mepron) is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (an infection that commonly attacks people with weak immune systems such as HIV/AIDS). It is prescribed to people who are at least 13 years of age and are unable to take alternative medications.

What does it do?

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia is a severe condition caused by a fungus. It attacks your lungs causing swelling and fluid buildup leading to symptoms such as fever, dry cough, or fatigue. Mepron belongs to a drug class called antiprotozoals and it works by inhibiting the reproduction and growth of the fungus causing the infection.

How should I take it?

Mepron and its generic equivalents are currently available as a 750mg/5ml oral suspension. Before taking Mepron, shake it carefully and use the provided dose-measuring device when measuring your required dose of the oral suspension.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Mepron?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Mepron or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.
