Pirfenidone (Pirfenidone) usually needs to be taken for life, especially in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease. There is currently no cure for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The main purpose of treatment is to relieve symptoms and slow down its progression as much as possible. As the condition progresses, end-of-life (palliative) care will be provided.

Before starting pirfenidone, doctors typically evaluate a patient's condition and clinical needs and develop an individualized treatment plan. In general, continued use of pirfenidone is recommended to maintain its efficacy. However, each patient's condition may be different, so treatment options may vary from person to person. Some patients may require longer pirfenidone treatment, while others may have their regimen adjusted over time based on changes in their condition and response to treatment. It is important that patients follow their doctor's instructions and return regularly to monitor their condition and adjust their treatment plan. You should not stop or change the dosage of your medication on your own, but make any changes under the guidance of your doctor.
