What is Atovaquone used for?

Atovaquone is primarily used to treat and prevent pneumocystis pneumonia, a serious lung infection common in people with weakened immune systems. It is also prescribed for toxoplasmosis in combination with other medications. Wellvone may be used when other treatments are unsuitable or ineffective. Always consult a healthcare provider for appropriate use.
