As a patient, it's important for me to understand the treatments available for certain conditions. Pirfenidone and oxygen therapy are two options that have caught my attention. Pirfenidone is an oral medication that helps slow down the progression of lung scarring in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, while oxygen therapy provides supplemental oxygen to those with low blood oxygen levels. Both treatments aim to improve patients' quality of life by addressing the symptoms of their conditions. Knowing the benefits and potential side effects of each treatment will allow me to make informed decisions about my healthcare journey.
