Hi Pete,
Japanese scientists published a research article in early 2022 on the therapeutic effects of eperisone (muscle relaxant) on pulmonary fibrosis, showing that it is more effective in supressing fibroblast activity than current antifibrotic medication (pirfenidone and nintedanib). Eperisone also showed less adverse side effects. The research was done on mice.
