Pilot trial of omeprazole in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (PPIPF Study)

This study tests whether omeprazole, a common medicine for stomach acid, can reduce coughing in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Participants take either omeprazole or a dummy capsule twice a day for three months to see if stopping acid reflux helps soothe irritated lungs.
