Nindanib 150 Capsule 10

Nindanib 150 Capsule is used for the following:

• Managing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic lung disease causing progressive scarring and stiffening of the lungs.

• Slowing down the rate of decline in lung function in adults with IPF.

• Helping handle other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) that have a tendency to worsen over time.

• Assisting in controlling systemic sclerosis-associated ILD (SSc-ILD), a condition where scar tissue starts forming within the lungs.

Here's how you should use Nindanib 150 Capsule:

• Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

• Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Nindanib 150 Capsule is taken orally.

Nindanib 150 Capsule contains nintedanib (150 mg) as its sole active ingredient, and works on your body as follows:

• Blocks Key Enzymes: Nintedanib blocks certain enzymes involved in signalling pathways that promote the growth of fibroblasts (cells that produce scar tissue in diseases like IPF).

• Reduces Fibroblast Proliferation: By inhibiting these enzymes, nintedanib reduces the multiplication and transformation of fibroblasts, leading to less collagen deposition.

• Slows Lung Fibrosis: As a result of the reduced collagen deposition, the progression of lung fibrosis is slowed down.

• Targets Growth Factor Receptors: Nintedanib targets growth factor receptors such as platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR).

• Store Nindanib 150 Capsule at room temperature, ideally around 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and damp areas; the original packaging is best for protection.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the capsule before its expiry date.

• Regular gentle exercise can support overall lung health, potentially benefiting those managing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

• A balanced diet rich in antioxidants can help reduce inflammation; consider including more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins in your meals.
