BI wins FDA approval for lung disease medicine

Boehringer Ingelheim Ofev is now approved in the U.S. and more than 70 countries for the treatment of patients living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and has been shown to slow IPF progression by reducing the annual rate of decline in lung function. more
