Pulmonary Fibrosis Meds

Posted by grrranny @grrranny, Mar 21, 2024

Hubby and I will be seeing his pulmonologist tomorrow for suggestions on pulmonary fibrosis meds to help with his breathing.
Anyone have experience with these?
Which have the fewest side effects?
Which should be avoided?
Does Medicare cover drugs like Esbriet and Ofev? Are they better than steroids?
Many thanks!

There is a brand new medicine with less side effects called Jascayd (I think that is how you spell it} My husband takes Esbriet and has no side effects. It is his 4th month. He eats alot of protein with the pill. We self pay and don't go through our insurance as they cost more for us with insurance than where we get our prescriptions with self pay.
