Below is a press release from Intermune, the company that makes Pirfenidone. They have essentially reviewed the various clinical trials going on, and decided that Pirfenidone is safe and well tolerated. That would pretty much go along with what we've observed in the HPS community as well. We have a few folks that have been on the drug since the late 90s and continue to do well. Of course, as a journalist, I do have to say consider the source - but at the same time, as someone in a Pirfenidone trial, it's good to know. Results of Comprehensive Safety Analysis of pirfenidone In IPF Patients Presented At European Respiratory Meeting - Analysis shows safety and tolerability of pirfenidone across four clinical trials - VIENNA, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- InterMune, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITMN ) today announced that the results of a comprehensive review of safety data from four clinical studies were presented at the 2009 European Respiratory Society Annual Congress in Vienna, Austria
This church is right on the village square, sort of speak, in Concord. It has a very old cemetary right next to it on the side of a hill. Looking at old graves can be very interesting. I remember doing it when we lived in Europe where indeed cemetaries can be very old and have many interesting stories to tell in the stones. We couldn't go in the cemetary, but we could take pictures of the stones from the sidewalk. With a telephoto lense you could read the markers. Many of the graves were from before the Revolutary War, and still others were graves of people who had died during the Revolutionary War.
