Interested to know how well others get on with Nintedanib?

I've just seen your post. So sorry nobody has replied to you as yet. There aren't so many of us on the site so probably not been seen. I have taken Nintedanib for a year when I was first diagnosed back in 2020 it made me feel awful and I was changed after a year to Pirefidone which suits me better.

Hi Tawny10

I have pulmonary fibrosis, diagnosed 18 months ago, I was put on nintedanib but it effected my liver so I had to come off it after a month. I am now on pirfenidone and am managing the side effects of nausea with anti sickness tablets and acid reflux anti acid tablets.

Have you spoken to your dr about the side effect you are experiencing

Take care

Hazel

Im getting on ok with it - Ive had no side effects at all.- I guess everyone reacts differently.
