He tried it for several months and tried a reduced dose. But sometimes women do better at handling whatever comes our way. They hate to admit it but men are usually terrible patients. He went to the Mayo in Jacksonville. And the Dr there hesitated to prescribe it because of the side effects. Also I think his pulmonary fibrosis was too advanced for the medication to do any good. He also tried Esbriet with the same side effects. I wish you the best.
