just beginning ofev, how long could it take for side effects to begin? Being very careful about diet and taking Med properly.
Thanks for any information…

Welcome, @ch47. I moved your question about Ofev to this discussion where @ktgirl @chickytina @ahoura9 @kathy22 @rntichauer @robtlhughes @wreath share their experiences.

It's important to keep in mind that everyone reacts to drugs differently and not everyone experiences the same side effects.

How long have you been living with IPF?

Side effects can start within hours of taking it. Mostly stomach issues, but also can make you feel tired, like you desparately need a nap. Stomach issues can be greatly reduced by taking with a good amount of protein. A peanut butter sandwich, premier protein drinks, bars, etc,.. Take the protein right when you take the Ofev. Don't wait even 10 minutes .
