About Fibnib 100 Softgel Capsule

Fibnib 100 Softgel Capsule belongs to the category of 'anti-fibrotic medicine', and it is primarily used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in adults. IPF is an irreversible disease marked by a progressive decline in lung function. The tissues in the lungs become swollen and scarred over time, which makes it difficult to breathe deeply. The scarring makes it hard for the lungs to work properly.

Fibnib 100 Softgel Capsule contains 'Nintedanib', which helps reduce the scarring and swelling in the lungs by decreasing the release/activity of naturally occurring growth factors in the body, allowing you to breathe better.
