For Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "Mostly nausea feeling for a duration of a few months. Itchy skin, prone to sunburns. Some dizzy episodes, loss of some appetite, which results in loss of weight. Feeling listless, loss of energy. Had to reduce dosage to cope with everything. It has helped to delay my condition, and after four years I have yet to use oxygen, but I know someday that will happen."

Pirfenidone for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "I was on pirfenidone for 6 months. Terrible side effects - sunburn, constipation, loss of taste and smell leading to loss of appetite and weight. Lots of coughing, tiredness, and generally feeling unwell. One night I could hardly breathe because of chest pain, so I stopped treatment. Been off it for several weeks now and feel a lot better, although still coughing a lot in cold weather. Consultation coming up, so let's see what the next option is."
