Product Introduction
Nintedanib 100mg is an antifibrotic medicine used in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other selected progressive fibrosing lung diseases. It slows deterioration rather than reversing established lung scarring.
How to use
Swallow the capsule whole with food and water. Do not chew, crush or open it. If a dose is missed, take the next scheduled dose rather than doubling. Early management of diarrhoea helps maintain treatment.
How it works
Nintedanib inhibits several growth-factor receptor tyrosine kinases involved in fibroblast activity and the development of lung fibrosis.
Side effects
Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, reduced appetite, weight loss and raised liver enzymes are common. Severe abdominal pain, unusual bleeding or jaundice needs urgent assessment.
Important information
Liver tests are needed before and during treatment. Pregnancy, bleeding risk, recent abdominal surgery and medicines that affect bleeding are important. Effective contraception is needed during treatment and for at least 3 months afterwards.
Uses
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and selected chronic progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases, including systemic-sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease.
Benefits
Slowing lung-function decline can help preserve breathing capacity over time. It does not provide rapid relief during an episode of breathlessness.
Can it remove existing lung scars?
No. Its aim is to slow further fibrosis, so lung-function tests remain important even when symptoms seem unchanged.
What should I do about diarrhoea?
Replace fluids and start the anti-diarrhoeal treatment provided by the care team. Persistent diarrhoea may require a treatment pause or dose reduction.
Can smoking affect treatment?
Smoking can reduce nintedanib exposure and also damages lung health. Stopping smoking supports the overall treatment plan.
Does this capsule replace oxygen or pulmonary rehabilitation?
No. Oxygen, exercise rehabilitation and other supportive measures address different aspects of fibrotic lung disease.
