Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule 10's

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:

• Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF): Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule helps slow the progressive scarring and stiffening of the lungs, making it easier to maintain your breathing capacity over time.
• Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD): Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule reduces the rate of decline in lung function in patients who have lung scarring related to autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
• Chronic Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) with a Progressive Phenotype: Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule helps manage various long-term lung conditions where scarring continues to worsen despite other treatments, helping to preserve vital lung volume.

The primary benefit of Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule is its ability to protect and preserve your lung function over time. By targeting the underlying chemical signals that cause tissue scarring, this medicine helps you maintain your breathing capacity and perform daily tasks more comfortably.

• Slower disease progression: It significantly reduces the speed at which lung scarring worsens, allowing you to maintain your active daily routines for a longer period.
• Lower risk of sudden worsening: It helps lower the risk of sudden, severe breathing crises, which are medically known as acute exacerbations.
• Better control over breathing decline: Regular use helps stabilise your overall lung health, giving you more predictability in managing your symptoms.

• Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule should be taken with meals to enhance its effectiveness.
• It is recommended to take Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule twice daily or as advised by your doctor.
• Swallow Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or open it.

• Drink plenty of fluids: Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day, which helps prevent dehydration if you experience diarrhoea.
• Eat small, frequent meals: If you experience nausea or a loss of appetite, eating small portions of bland foods throughout the day can make eating easier.
• Avoid smoking completely: Smoking speeds up lung damage and can significantly reduce how well Nintabid 100 Softgel Capsule works in your body.
• Get regular liver tests: Attend all scheduled appointments for blood tests, as your doctor needs to monitor your liver health closely during treatment.
