My name is Doug. I was diagnosed with IPF/Usual Interstial Penumonitis
in June by a VATS biospy. I am on a course of prednisone until 18
August when I go back and do a pulmonary function test. Based on that
we will make changes in treatment. What other drugs has anyone heard
about that may help this condition?

Hi Doug,
at the moment the n-acetylcysteine is used and it seems to
help.
I suggest you to read some links:

Always ask to your physician/medical specialist before taking any
drugs.
Please, let me know.

Greetings,
Fabrizio
