Vic, my husband made it through the first few "introductory" weeks of Pirfenidone, with only having to skip a couple of pills due to the temporary side effects of runny nose, occasional slight nose bleed, and stomach discomfort. Ayr nasal gel seemed to help. He is now in his second week of full dose (one pill 3 times a day with meals) with no problems, thank goodness. Says he is breathing better. I hope you do well with yours!
