Episode 5: Understanding the Treatment

Receiving a diagnosis is a key step on the patient journey, but what happens next? Based on the patient characteristics the physician will prescribe a pharmacological treatment, but it can be challenging to understand how it works and how it together with the disease itself might impact their lives. In this episode of “Spotlight of Pulmonary Fibrosis”, we hear from Gali Ruttner an IPF patient from Israel, and Prof. Yochai Adir a pulmonologist from Israel and the chair of the Israel society of pulmonology. They will talk about common questions that patients have about their treatments and what physicians should communicate to the patients to provide them with correct information and support throughout the different stages of the disease.
