Pirfenidone Tablets

What are Pirfenidone Tablets?

Pirfenidone tablets are used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a kind of lung illness (IPF). Scar tissue forms deep into your lungs as a result of IPF. This condition causes scarring and stiffening of the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. When your brain, heart, and other organs don't get enough oxygen, other medical issues can arise. Pirfenidone may be able to help slow the progression of your IPF. Pirfenidone is a fibrotic treatment. It works by lowering pulmonary fibrosis (scarring) and oedema. This makes it easier to breathe.
