Description:
Pirfenex Tablet contains Pirfenidone, an antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory agent used in the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)—a chronic and progressive lung disease characterized by the thickening and scarring (fibrosis) of lung tissue. This prescription medication helps slow the progression of fibrosis, improves lung function, and enhances quality of life in patients with IPF.
Therapeutic Use:
Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) in adults
Mechanism of Action:
Pirfenidone works by modulating the production of fibrogenic and inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing collagen synthesis and the proliferation of fibroblasts. This helps limit the scarring of lung tissue and preserves lung capacity over time.
Dosage Form:
Tablet
Prescription Status:
Prescription-only medication
Note:
Pirfenex should be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Liver function should be monitored regularly during treatment. Patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight and use sun protection, as Pirfenidone may increase sensitivity to UV exposure.
