Hi @mariakathleen and @clairemclaughlin, I added this discussion to the Lung Health group as well.
@robtlhughes @sassyboots @chickytina might also have some insights.
Maria, as you can see from this related discussion, diarrhea is a common side effects with Ofev.
- What side effects did you have with Ofev (nintedanib) for IPF? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/olev-side-effects/
Interestingly both constipation and diarrhea are listed as possible side effects of Eliquis. Do you find that Eliquis has made this worse?

That is so perceptive of you, dear Colleen! According to traditional Asian medicine, lungs and large intestine are Paired Organs! Helping one helps the other!

Hi all,
My doctor emailed me back today and said the diarrhea isn’t from the Eliquis. He wants me to take up to 4 pills throughout the day of lomitil to see if that helps, I was taking 2 or 3, so hopefully with the max dose of 4 I’ll be better!
