    harold cheatham replied to the topic Split Ofev doseages in the forum Ofev (Nintedanib) 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    I have been on OFEV 300mg for 18 months. I’m tired of feeling bad most days. I have nearly a 3 month supply of 150 mg pills. I am wondering if I can safely take a 150 at night and then CUT a 150mg in half to take 12 hours later. I would then theoretically be at 225 mg per day. Has anyone here tried this?  Any input will be very much appreciated!

    I am wondering if other OFEV users have the side effects begin a few months after using the drug. I was expecting these issues to begin almost immediately and I was greatly relieved when they did not. I hope this is only temporary for your husband.

    I am a 72 year old male diagnosed with Mild Pulmonary Fibrosis and Mild Emphysema 2 years ago.  I have started OFEV one week ago today.  Two 150mg per day. Happy to report that I had only one slight diarrhea event 30 minutes after taking my first pill after a large lunch. I was very concerned about the side effects that many folks have. Just t…[Read more]
