I started taking Esbriet about three years ago. No noticeable side effects. 801 mg three times a day. It seems to be slowing any progression of my IPF. I have just this week started a regimen of Zinc. Nads , and Sirtuin. My thoughts is. What have I got to lose by trying it. I’ll post anything useful from this new approach.

I was diagnosed with IPF several years ago . I’m on oxygen 4/5 liters, as needed. I’m taking Esbriet 801mgs three times a day. My pulmonologist suggested I contact Temple lung ctr. In Philadelphia to discuss the eligibility of a transplant. I’m 80.7 years old. I doubt I’d qualify. So I’ve pretty much decided to live what’s left of my life as best I can. We just got back from Alaska earlier this year, so that off the bucket list. I just hope when I go, that it’s quick, and that I don’t become a burden to my wife.
