For Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "I have been on nintedanib 150 mg twice a day coming up for 18 months, side effect slight diarrhea on or off, just take anti-poo tabs after loose one. On various other meds: steroids, antibiotics, stomach pill, prostate tabs twice a day, 24hr oxygen. My last CT scan shows a slight increase, but I find the best treatment is getting out for my daily walk on the moors no matter what the weather is. Oh, started turmeric not recommended, got very short of breath, stopped taking, and breathing is back to what it was."

For Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "I have been using OFEV for 9 months now. I do not notice a decrease in lung capacity nor any increase in breathing endurance. My symptoms include shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, and a markedly reduced physical endurance for walking. The side effect of diarrhea has been bothersome, and I have not been able to get relief from it."
