Overview
Medical Therapy
Supportive care
- Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis receive supportive care alongside the medical therapy.[1]
- Supportive care measures include the following:
- Mechanical ventilation: Nearly all the patients with IPF require oxygen supplementation.
- Pulmonary rehabilitation
- Vaccination against possible causes of pulmonary inflammation as influenza and pneumococcal polysacchride capsule vaccines.[2]
Medical treatment
- There is no specific treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, there are two medications, nintedanib and pirfenidone, that can be administrated in order to slow the disease progression.[3]
