Saw my respirologist today blood work is good going from OFEV 150 twice a day to 100 twice a day.Also put me on dexamethasone to increase my appetite.I have suffered with diarrhea and have been losing weight since November.Here’s hoping that things will be improving in the near future.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for writing and providing us with an update on your appointment with the respirologist today. Glad the bloodwork was good, that is always a bonus to hear and please know that the reduction of Ofev from 150 to 100 mg twice daily seems pretty common. I know lots of people have experienced unpleasant GI side effects from the 150 dose of Ofev, so I will keep my fingers crossed that reducing it for you helps you feel better. Keep us posted and wishing you the very best. Thanks for connecting, it is nice to hear from you!
Charlene.
