About Nintib 100 Soft Gelatin Capsule
Nintib 100 Soft Gelatin Capsule belongs to the category of 'anti-fibrotic medicine', and it is primarily used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in adults. IPF is an irreversible disease marked by a progressive decline in lung function. The tissues in the lungs become swollen and scarred over time, due to which it gets difficult to breathe deeply. The scarring makes it hard for the lungs to work properly.
Nintib 100 Soft Gelatin Capsule contains 'Nintedanib', which helps reduce the scarring and swelling in the lungs by decreasing the release/activity of naturally occurring growth factors in the body, allowing you to breathe better. Nintib 100 Soft Gelatin Capsule helps in slowing down the progress of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF): Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis belongs to a group of interstitial lung diseases. It is an irreversible chronic disease marked by a progressive decline in lung function. The tissues in the lungs become inflamed and scarred over time, due to which it gets difficult to breathe properly. The scar tissue, known as fibrosis, becomes thick /stiff over time, making it hard for the lungs to work efficiently. This causes decreased lung function, which leads to increased breathlessness and coughing. Breathing difficulties can lead to other medical problems. Symptoms of IPF are shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, loss of appetite, weight loss, and rounded and widened tips of the fingers and toes.
