Treatments for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Currently, we can’t stop pulmonary fibrosis. However, some treatments can slow down the rate of further scarring. Other treatments can help manage your symptoms. Not all treatments are suitable for everyone, so your medical team will discuss the best treatments for you.

Breathing techniques

Coughing

Mental Health

Lung Transplants

Immunosuppressant medication

Oxygen

Pulmonary rehabilitation

Palliative care

Antifibrotic medication

New treatments are also being developed through research. You may also be able to take part in research. There are a number of different studies taking place across the UK. You can find out more information using our Study Finder. Ask your healthcare team about what options are available for you.
