Abstract

The aim of this study was the evaluation of the combination of Pycnogenol® (150 mg/day) and Centella asiatica (Centellicum® 3 x 225 mg/day) (PY-CE) for 8 months in subjects with sequelae of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). Recently, post-COVID-19 lung disease is emerging with large numbers of patients left with chronic lung conditions. Considering the antifibrotic activity of the combination PY-CE, we also tested this supplementary management in post-COVID-19 lung patients.
