WELCOME TO YOUR PPF SUPPORT SPACE
Health and well-being support that goes beyond the pills
This space is here to support people, like you, who are living with PPF and being treated with OFEV®. We understand that being diagnosed with PPF can be difficult.

This website is designed to help people like you manage your illness and associated treatments. It contains advice and materials to support you; from understanding PPF to managing your therapy with OFEV®, and how to get the most out of your interactions with your healthcare providers on how to manage expectations with loved ones.

THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM AND IS INTENDED FOR PEOPLE WITH PROGRESSIVE PULMONARY FIBROSIS WHO HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED OFEV® (NINTEDANIB).
This website is intended for people with progressive pulmonary fibrosis who have been prescribed treatment with OFEV® (nintedanib). OFEV® is used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), or other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) that are showing signs of progression and these diseases are referred to on this website collectively as ‘progressive pulmonary fibrosis’ (PPF).
This website aims to provide you with information about your disease and how to manage your symptoms or the side effects of your treatment, as well as to give you details on holistic support available.
The information on this website has been developed to enhance, but not replace, the advice and help of your medical team. If you have any questions after reading this website, or any further concerns, always talk to your medical team – i.e., a nurse, doctor or pharmacist – they are here to help you.
You’ll also find more information about OFEV® in your Patient Information Leaflet (PIL), included with your OFEV® medication pack, or on https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.7705.pdf if you live in Great Britain, or on https://www.emcmedicines.com/en-gb/northernireland/medicine?id=1c9c7bb7-cac4-4c5f-a633-a8220c0a16dd&type=pil if you live in Northern Ireland or on https://www.medicines.ie/medicines/ofev-150-mg-soft-capsules-33198/patient-info if you live in the Republic of Ireland.
