Possible treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

There's currently no cure for IPF, but there are several treatments that can help relieve the symptoms and slow down its progression. Treatments include: self-care measures – such as stopping smoking, eating healthily and exercising regularly medication to reduce the rate at which scarring worsens – such as pirfenidone and nintedanib breathing oxygen through a mask – you can do this while you're at home and/or while you're out and about pulmonary rehabilitation – exercises and advice to help you breathe more easily a lung transplant – this is suitable in a few cases, although donor lungs are rare
