Hi,

I do not want to sit on the chair of a doctor, and I hope that you inform yourself on taking medications. I would however want to point out that your dosis with 2x 60 mg is higher than what was used in the chinese study where 7,5 – 15 mg/day was used.

So I hope your doctor is willing to look together with you on the advised dosis.

Good luck!

Hi Patricia,

You are right, that’s why I put a question mark in the title of the subject.

Maybe “treatment” or “possible cure” is better.

The research does show a certain degree of breakdown of fibrotic tissue in the lungs, if it restores to normal functioning lung tissue is not clear to me.

regards,

Hi Larry,

You are right, some preliminary results of small tests are often hyped in the media. And one should better wait until the results of large trials are done.

However my mother doesn’t have the time to wait a couple of years. And probably the pharmaceutical industry is not very eager to spend millions of dollars on research on pills…

Thanks,

I read a lot of the news articles from the past weeks.

The one from china I posted is also quite interesting, however it is based on a small group of patients.

Hi Samuel,

The Benzonataat is only used as cough represssent and doesn’t improve the fibrosis as far as I can see.
