To @Jack:
The symptoms you describe may be related to the use of OFEV (nintedanib). Weight loss and dry mouth are known side effects of this drug. While diarrhea is a commonly reported side effect that may contribute to weight loss, it's not the only possible mechanism.
It is important to note that reactions to medications can be individual, and not all patients experience the same side effects. In addition, weight loss and dry mouth can be caused by other factors or be related to an underlying medical condition.
It is recommended that you report these symptoms to your doctor. Your doctor can tell you if these symptoms are related to OFEV or if they have other causes. If necessary, he or she may consider dose modification or suggest ways to manage side effects. I encourage you to report an adverse reaction if it has not already been done:

Do not stop or change the dosage of the drug yourself without consulting your doctor.
I have been taking OFEV 150mg twice a day for 2 months now. During this time I have lost 6 kg and I have a lot of dry mouth. Is it from this drug? I would like to point out that I do not have diarrhea.
I used to have diarrhea, now I'm taking smaller doses

On our forum, pharmacists answer patients' questions, but patients can also comment under your post. I would just like to point out that relying on the opinions of other patients can be misleading, because the tolerance of the preparation can be very individual. On our portal there were not too many questions about the drug Ofev yet: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87798/ofev-kapsulki/pytania Ofev is a drug in the form of capsules. The active substance of the preparation is nintedanib, which is an antibody that blocks proteins responsible for the formation of lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The drug is used to treat idiopathic fibrosis and lung diseases of a similar course.
