What are the treatment options for lung fibrosis?
Treatment for lung fibrosis aims to slow lung scarring, improve breathing, and maintain quality of life. Common approaches include antifibrotic medicines (such as pirfenidone and nintedanib) to slow scarring, oxygen therapy to address low oxygen levels, and pulmonary rehabilitation to strengthen breathing and overall fitness. In severe cases, a lung transplant may be considered. Regular check-ups are essential for monitoring the condition and adjusting treatment as needed.
