well Mark, I don't have any NEW specific information about Fansidar; but my
feeling is that aerasolized Pentamadine, taken properly is sufficient
prophylactic for PCP

my personal attitude toward drug taking is to not complicate unnecessarily
the drug intake because of side effects/ and unpredicable drug interactions

the drug situation in Canada is a lot different than that in the U.S. as
you know; it could be that one of the drugs you mentioned may assist rather
than hinder pentamadine in its role, sorry i can't offer more at the moment
but i'll keep my eyes and ears open for you for sure
