Hi Terence2

I'm starting treatment with Pirfenidone and have delayed starting until Autumn due to the high risk attached to sun sensitify . Mainly because I am fair and although I don't sit in the sun the ways you have to avoid burning seem an added burden to getting used to the drug and other side effects so I'm starting it when there's less risk. About hydrogen peroxide I don't fancy that at all not even on my hair. I can't imagine how that helps so maybe others wlll advice you. Good luck

If you mean H2O2 I have taken it in distilled water and via nebuliser. Need to be very precise on how much you use and that it is at the correct dilution. 12 drops of 3% strength to 5ml distilled water via nebuliser. Use for no more than 10 minutes. Feel it helped with infection I had at time. Apologies if you already know all about dilutions etc.
