Nintedanib

Nintedanib is a medication used to treat certain lung diseases characterized by fibrosis, which is the formation of excess scar tissue in the lungs. It works by blocking specific enzymes involved in the process of tissue scarring and inflammation. This helps slow down the progression of lung damage, improving lung function and quality of life for patients with conditions like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Nintedanib is taken orally and may cause side effects, so it’s prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure its safe and effective use.
