It is important to talk to your doctor about your #PFcough as soon as you become concerned or symptoms of excessive coughing occur. The best support from a doctor will come from you being an empowered patient and working with them to identify a treatment option.

[Bill Gerhart @Bill_Gerhart]

Amid a global #pandemic that is hypersensitized to coughing, #PF patients with persistent cough are seen as a potential threat. How can we begin to destigmatize coughing and raise awareness for PF patients in the future? Read my latest post for @respivant. https://t.co/tGAGpMcb2t

#IPF can lead to anxiety, depression and isolation, and many patients shy away from discussing the burden of their #IPFCough. Facilitating conversations around IPF can help others better understand and de-stigmatize this condition. Let’s start the discussion today.

#Pulmonaryfibrosis innovators want to hear from patients with #PFCough. Your perspective can shed light on key problems and opportunity areas for #PF. Share your story with The PF Perspectives Project today:

[Respivant Sciences @respivant]

There are currently only 2 approved drugs that have demonstrated the potential to slow the progression of IPF, but neither reduces cough or improves quality of life.

We’re evaluating the potential of #RVT1601 to significantly reduce cough & improve quality of life for patients.

[Teresa Barnes @emersonbrecktos]

@respivant so true. As if having a deadly lung disease wasn’t enough....

[Respivant Sciences @respivant]

There are multiple triggers that can cause patients with #IPF to have an uncontrollable coughing episode, including perfumes, spices, and temperature changes.

Potential embarrassment associated with their cough leads many patients with this disease to self-isolate. #IPFStigma

[Respivant Sciences @respivant]

Cough associated with #IPF may be the first symptom a patient experiences, preceding breathlessness by months to years. #FactsAboutIPF #LIVEwithPF #IPFStigma
