    Thanks for your feedback. I have a few weeks to decide whether to take the drug. I will be looking for to more feedback from more Esbriet users.

    Hello
    I am a healthy 65 year old male having been just diagnosed with IPF in February of 2022. Just had second visit with pulmonologist and he wants to begin the drug Esbriet. After reading about the side effects of this drug, I am concerned how my quality of life will change and if it is worth it. From what I read there are only 48000 people using this drug world wide. Has anyone else felt this way about starting this drug and is it normal or am I over reacting? I don’t want to be sicker than I already am trying to slow down the progression. If it was a cure I would not hesitate. Feed back welcome

    Thank you for your feedback. I hope the best for you. Still will be doing more research to the side effects and decide if they out weigh the benefit.
