Treatment of IPF is important because lung function and symptoms of people with IPF typically worsen over time. Pirfenidone and nintedanib are two anti-fibrotic drugs that are used for the long-term treatment of IPF. Antifibrotic means that the drugs block scarring. By decreasing the formation of scar tissue in IPF, pirfenidone and nintedanib slow the decline in lung function. These are both approved for use in many countries, including the US.
