Nindanib 150 mg Cap is an oral capsule that contains Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It is primarily used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other fibrotic lung diseases by inhibiting multiple signaling pathways involved in the progression of fibrosis and inflammation. Nintedanib works by targeting and blocking key proteins that are involved in the abnormal growth of tissue, helping to reduce lung scarring and slow the decline in lung function.
The medication helps to stabilize lung function, reduce the worsening of symptoms, and improve the quality of life for individuals with IPF and other interstitial lung diseases. It is generally used in combination with other treatments or therapies as part of a comprehensive care plan.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF): A lung disease that causes scarring and thickening of lung tissue, making it difficult to breathe.
Other Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs): A group of diseases that cause inflammation and scarring in the lung tissue.
Fibrotic Lung Conditions: To slow the progression of fibrosis (the thickening and scarring of connective tissue) in the lungs.
Take one capsule of Nindanib 150 mg twice daily, with food.
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or open the capsule.
The typical dosage is 150 mg twice a day (total of 300 mg per day), but your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response to treatment and tolerance.

Do not stop taking Nindanib without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation may affect your treatment progress.
Nindanib 150 mg Cap is used for the treatment of:
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a progressive lung disease characterized by scarring of lung tissue.
Other interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), which involve inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs.
To slow the progression of fibrosis and improve lung function in individuals with these conditions.
Nindanib works as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), targeting specific enzymes and signaling pathways involved in the abnormal growth of tissue. By blocking these enzymes, Nintedanib helps to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs, slowing the progression of lung scarring, and preserving lung function.
