Other medicines that your healthcare provider may recommend include:
Experimental Pulmonary Fibrosis Medicines
There are a number of medicines currently being studied in clinical trials that may have some benefit for treating
pulmonary fibrosis. However, none of these drugs have been specifically approved for treating pulmonary fibrosis at this time. This means that they are prescribed
off-label to treat pulmonary fibrosis.
Some examples of these medications include:
Pulmonary Fibrosis Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy is often recommended to help decrease shortness of breath and allow a person to be more active. Early on in the disease, oxygen may only be necessary with exercise or sleep. However, as the condition worsens, oxygen may be necessary all of the time.
