 Thanks for your post. Purbac is a trade name for a version of trimethoprim/sulfa (AKA Bactrim, Cotrimoxazole). If your CD4 count is reproducibly above 200, you don't need to take Purbac for PCP prevention. I'd ask your doctor or healthcare provider why your being prescribed the medication. BY | ||||||||
