Plz koi Guide dy dy ky Pirfenidone Beneficial Hai Kya Kuch Doctor is ko prescribe krty hain Kuch kehty ky yai Drug Not for ILD Patient Already Taken some Steriod and Tofacitinib for Arthritis Treatment or ILD Ka isky elawa koi Acha treatment hai kya
Ye sab ILD ki type pe depend karta hy
Kuch ILD types men definitely beneficial hai and kuch men nai. So need to see the type. Please get your appointment accordingly
pirfendon is not effective in arthritis related ILD... if there is progression in Arthritis related ILD, then there's the role of nintedanib on the basis of progression criteria.
Pirfenidone is sometimes prescribed for ILD due to its potential to slow disease progression. However, its use should be carefully considered, especially since your father is already on steroids and Tofacitinib for arthritis. ILD treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity. Consulting a pulmonologist or rheumatologist is crucial for determining the best course of treatment. Are you aware of any recent lung function tests or high-resolution CT scans for your father?
