About Pirfenidone (200mg)

PIRFENOID 200 is a medication designed to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Each tablet contains 200 mg of Pirfenidone, an antifibrotic agent that helps slow the progression of lung scarring associated with IPF. This condition can cause significant breathing difficulties, and PIRFENOID 200 aims to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by this chronic lung disease.

Key Benefits:

• Slows Disease Progression: Helps reduce the rate of decline in lung function in patients with IPF.
• Improves Breathing: Aims to alleviate the breathing difficulties associated with lung fibrosis.
• Enhances Quality of Life: By managing the symptoms of IPF, PIRFENOID 200 helps patients maintain a better quality of life.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Reduces inflammation in the lungs, which is crucial in managing IPF.

How Does It Work?

Pirfenidone, the active ingredient in PIRFENOID 200, works by inhibiting the production of fibroblasts and other factors that contribute to fibrosis and inflammation in the lungs. It targets specific pathways to reduce the proliferation and activity of these cells, thereby slowing the progression of tissue scarring and preserving lung function.

Directions for Use:

• Dosage: Follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider. Typically, the dosage is gradually increased over the first two weeks of treatment.
• Administration: Take the tablet with food to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Consistency: It is crucial to take PIRFENOID 200 at the same time each day to maintain a steady level of the medication in your bloodstream.
