I am on Esbriet (Pirfenidone) for the last 3 years. so far I don’t have any side-effects. The problem I am encountering is my cough is getting very bad these days.

    Hello Charlene,

    I am suffering with IPF since 2016. I am a Christian, and my Hope is in God and God alone. I do take my medication (pirfenidone) and have oxygen carrier. I pray everyday and cling on to hope that nothing is impossible to God and he can heal me. This gives me hope and a desire to carry on.

    God Bless
    Christeen

I also…[Read more]

    I am thankful to God that so far I have not had any trouble since I started taking it except dry skin during summer and occasional rash when some medication don’t agree with it. Dry skin is the only bad reaction to it so far. christeen
