Latest IPF Studies Support Esbriet for More Severe Lung Function Impairment

[strikeforce]

Treatment with Genentech‘s FDA-approved Esbriet (pirfenidone) has been shown in two independent studies to improve moderate to more severe lung function impairment in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

According to the presentation titled “Effect of Pirfenidone on Breathlessness as Measured by the UCSD-SOBQ Score in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) with Moderate Lung Function Impairment,” Esbriet can reduce breathlessness in IPF patients with moderate lung function impairment compared to the placebo.

OligoG Cf-5/20 for mucus in CF and Copd

Barb; they find that seaweed drug OligoG CF-5/20 stops mucus buildup which I believe will help Copd also. God bless
