Have been taking Esbreit for about 4 years with no side effects…..It has helped slow down the progression……..I have been lucky…….Waiting for the Bio-techs to come out with something that stops it…….PRM 151 I think is going to Phrase 3…..Promedoir I think is the company…..

There are several other medicines in phase 1 and 2 that also looks promising. Thank you again for the info. Mark

Taking Esbreit 801 mg 3 x a day in stead of 267 3 times a day with meals for a total of 9 a day…….Lucky with no side effects……….Numbers are taken every 6 months,,,PFT Test and 6 minute walk…….they go up and down only by a couple points each time….so far so good………..
