1. What is Wellvone and what is it used for

Wellvone is used to treat a lung infection called Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) in people who cannot take cotrimoxazole (a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole).

This disease is caused by an organism called Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii).

The active substance in Wellvone is atovaquone. Wellvone belongs to a group of medicines called antiprotozoals.

Do not take Wellvone

  • if you are allergicto atovaquone or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Wellvone.

Be careful with Wellvone

Before you start taking Wellvone, your doctor needs to know:

  • if you have any kidney or liver disease
  • if you have diarrhea, especially when starting treatment. Diarrhea reduces the absorption of Wellvone, so the treatment may not be effective
