I have an Ogen one G5 that goes up to 6 LPM.

Good luck. They are pricy.

The numbers can change for a variety of reasons. The temperature, humidity, state of his health such as a bad cold or just the sniffles.

I just read that it is coming out in generic. It didn’t say when it would be available to get an Rx for the generic version but I assume it should be soon. They will need some time to get the manufacturing process going and then the actual distribution to pharmacies. Ask your doctor or pharmacy when it will be available.

Has anyone experienced the effects ofev has on nose bleeds?  I’ve been having considerable difficulty with nose bleeds lately. A nose bleed every day for 10 days.  They have taken me off eliquis and ofev temporarily until the bleeding issue is resolved.

I have IPF and Afib, I Have been taking OFEV since January 1, 2019 (almost 3 1/2 years.) I have had 4 ablations for AFIB since 2009. I have been taking eliquis since then. When I started taking OFEV they cut my eliquis from 5 mg twice a day to 2 1/2 mg twice a day. I also take flecainide 50 mg twice per day for my AFIB. So far so good. Hope this…[Read more]

My cardiologist has forbidden me to take Benadryl. I have a fib

I have been on OFEV for almost 3 years. I take 150 mg twice per day. At first I had minor abdominal cramps and still do. I started have diarrhea to the extent it was aggravating so I started taking Imodium. It controlled it somewhat. I started taking one every other day and it helped some. I changed to one every day and and that helped even more…[Read more]

Remember the formula for water is H2O.

I have found that the ipratropium helps a lot.

I feel so bad for that lady and have great fear of putting my wife through something similar. I’m 84 and she is 81. We have been married 63 years and dated 3 years before getting married. I was diagnosed in November 2018 and on OFEV since January 1, 2019. Doing pretty well so far.
