its ok..nothing is wrong..we can treat pt in both way...orally or IV..but IV is better one..

IV is better if the patient is admitted, can not take PO or has nausea or vomiting.
IV is also better in severe PCP such as with increased a-a gradient , low po2 etc because it has more predictable bioavailability than po
