I would also like to become part of your ZOOM.  I live in Wisconsin and was diagnosed with IPF in Sept 2021.

I was on OFEV from OCT 8, 2021 until 4.11.22 (had a TIA mini-stroke on 4/11/22), and today after speaking to my pulmonologist will be taking Esbriet.  While taking OVEV I had no problems at all!

My pulmonologist’s only warning is the potential of sun skin damage.  I’ll need to cover up while outside.

 

Good luck with your decision!

I have IPF being subscribed in Sept 21 and on 100 mg of OFEV since Oct 2021.  Mild GI problem, otherwise hoping for good results.

I have been on 100mg of OFEV twice a day since Oct. 2021 with no drop in 02 levels but a large increase in phlegm. On/off diarrhea.
