I was just about to post this same question.
Is it an antibiotic?
And how does it work? I read that it forces the Lyme out of your tissues.

It's an antiprotozoal agent. Babesia is a protozoa.
It's also used to treat and prevent Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP), which can be a deadly complication for people with AIDS.
I found out from the pharmacist that it is best absorbed if taken with 24 grams of fat. The blood concentration level is about half when taken without.
I never realized how little fat I actually consume. It's really pretty hard to do, if you avoid the hydrogenated stuff.
Not very easy to take am dose, when you have no appetite. Ugh!
