How To Treat ILD(Interstitial Lung Disease)?

My Mother 68 ,year old patient who is suffering from interstitial lung disease(ILD). This has led to the drying of her lungs and the patient is quite weak and coughs a lot.She gets relief when she uses an oxygen cylinder, a means of sending oxygen to her lungs as prescribed by the consulted doctor.She is a diabetic too.Sir,we have also attached the medication prescribed by the consulted doctor and if required,we would even attach her reports and send it to you.Sir,if there exists a treatment to this disease,then please let me know and we can then take an appointment and visit you as soon as possible.Thanking You,
Manoj Kalani,

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Recently two drugs are approved by US FDA for ILD (interstitial lung disease).
1. Tablet Perfinodone. It is anti fibrotic drug useful in early fibrosis. Dose is 200mg thrice daily.
2. N acetyl cystine (NAC). It is mucolytic, anti inflammatory, anti oxidant.
So consult her pulmonologist and discuss about starting these newer drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
