Description
Product Introduction:
Nintena 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is a prescription medication used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It works by targeting and blocking specific pathways involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells and the development of fibrosis (scar tissue) in the lungs. By inhibiting these pathways, Nintena helps slow the progression of these diseases and can improve symptoms associated with them.
Salt Composition:
- Nintedanib (100mg)
Uses of Nintena Soft Gelatin Capsule:
- Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF):
IPF is a progressive lung disease in which the tissue inside the lungs becomes thickened, stiff, and scarred, leading to difficulty breathing and other symptoms like dry cough. Nintena helps prevent the further scarring of lung tissue, slowing disease progression and improving lung function. - Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC):
Nintena is also used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, where it helps inhibit cancer cell growth and spread by blocking specific proteins and cellular pathways involved in tumor growth.
Benefits of Nintena Soft Gelatin Capsule:
- In Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis:
Nintena works by blocking the processes that lead to the development of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the lungs. By doing so, it can help reduce further damage and improve the overall quality of life for patients with IPF, improving symptoms like shortness of breath and dry cough. - In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC):
Nintena is effective in halting the growth and multiplication of cancer cells. By blocking abnormal proteins responsible for cancer cell proliferation, it can slow the progression of lung cancer and help manage the disease.
How Nintena Soft Gelatin Capsule Works:
Nintena 100mg Soft Gelatin Capsule contains Nintedanib, an anti-cancer medication that works by blocking the action of abnormal proteins that signal cancer cells to multiply. It also interferes with pathways in the body that cause fibrosis, helping prevent the development of thick, scarred lung tissue. This combined action helps slow disease progression and prevent further damage to the lungs or tumors.
