Combination Drug Therapies
Corticosteroids, coupled with immunosuppressants and chemotherapeutic agents, were the only treatment available for the pulmonary fibrosis till the drugs such fibrosis Ofev (nintedanib) and Esbriet (pirfenidone) approved for the pulmonary fibrosis treatment in 2014. Both drugs slow disease progression by slowing down the lung tissue scarring. Patients treated with monotherapy of these drugs or combination therapy of these drugs along with corticosteroids or immunosuppressants has given healthcare professionals pulmonary fibrosis treatment options for the effective management of the disease. Various new therapies are being evaluated by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies for the possible pulmonary fibrosis treatment.
