What drugs are used for pulmonary fibrosis

The specific drugs used for pulmonary fibrosis should be analyzed according to the specific condition of the patient. If the patient has fever, cough, expectoration, antipyretic drugs and antitussive and expectorant drugs such as ibuprofen or licorice tablets should be used. If the patient has chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, and breathing difficulties, bronchodilators such as salbutamol or terbutaline can be used. Theophylline can also be used to relieve the patient's symptoms. There is no specific treatment for pulmonary fibrosis in clinical practice at this stage. It is mainly symptomatic and supportive treatment. For example, there are some drugs in clinical practice at this stage, such as N-acetylcysteine and pirfenidone, which can fight fibrosis to a certain extent, but the effect is not exact.
