Nintena 100mg (Nintedanib Capsules)

🧴 Product Description
Targeted Therapy for Pulmonary Fibrosis and Certain Cancers

Progressive lung diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) can cause shortness of breath and reduced quality of life. Nintena 100mg is a prescription medicine used to slow disease progression in fibrotic lung conditions and also in certain types of cancer.

The active ingredient, Nintedanib (100mg), is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
In simple terms, it works by blocking specific enzymes (tyrosine kinases) involved in fibrosis and abnormal cell growth, reducing scar tissue formation in the lungs and inhibiting tumor progression.

Nintena 100mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)

• Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD)

• Certain solid tumors (in combination with chemotherapy, as advised by a doctor)

Key Benefits:

Slows Lung Fibrosis:
Helps preserve lung function and reduces disease progression.

Targeted Anti-Fibrotic Action:
