Nintedanib for Chronic Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease With A Progressive Phenotype "I was warned to expect stomach upset and diarrhea. The first night I suffered dry heaves but no vomiting. Ever since, the only symptom I have been experiencing is fatigue. Other than that, there have been no noticeable side effects yet."

Nintedanib for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and have been on Ofev for two months. I had a chronic cough and a persistent hack. I was prescribed to take a pill in the morning with food and another pill in the evening with food. I did not have the side effect of diarrhea. My biggest issue was sudden nausea and vomiting - I would have to run for the toilet. The good news is that my cough is mostly gone - but to deal with the nausea - I have reduced the dosage to 1/2 pill in the morning and 1/2 pill in the evening. Still have an occasional bout of coughing, but overall, I am doing much better."

For Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "I have been on Ofev since June 22. I had the typical rough start with vomiting and diarrhea. Now I started having the same when I take the second capsule in the evening. The morning one is usually okay. Another thing is my breathing is worse. My blood oxygen goes down, I feel sweaty and shaky. I'm 75 and feel like I'm having a hot flash, I feel a hot wave go over me. Too old for that. I had a hysterectomy years ago. Anyone else start having issues after being on it for over 2 years? All in all, I believe it slowed the progression of the scarring in my lungs. I would probably be worse if I hadn't taken it."
