About Idofnib-150 Capsule

Idofnib-150 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.

Idofnib-150 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. Idofnib-150 Capsule helps in slowing down the progress of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, tiredness, diarrhoea, indigestion, loss of appetite, headache, and photosensitivity.
