Using Nintabid 150 Capsule is pretty straightforward. Follow these steps:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.

Nintabid 150 Capsule is taken orally.

Nintabid 150 Capsule contains nintedanib (150 mg). This active ingredient works on your body through the following mechanisms:

• Kinase Inhibition: Nintedanib blocks specific proteins called kinases involved in the growth and spread of fibrotic tissue in the lungs.

• Reduction of inflammation: By inhibiting these kinases, nintedanib helps reduce the inflammation associated with IPF, progressive fibrosing ILDs, and SScILD.

• Slowing down fibrosis: This mechanism helps slow down the process of fibrosis or scarring in the lungs.

• Preservation of Lung Function: Through these actions, nintedanib contributes to slowing the decline in lung function associated with these lung diseases.

• Store Nintabid 150 Capsule below 25°C, but it can tolerate temperatures between 15°C and 30°C.

• Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.

• Always store the capsule in its original package.

• Keep Nintabid 150 Capsule out of sight and reach of children.

• Use the medicine before its expiry date, as indicated on the packaging.

• As Nintabid 150 Capsule is used to manage lung diseases, consider practising breathing exercises like pursed lip breathing or diaphragmatic breathing, which can help improve lung function.

• Incorporate a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, into your routine. Antioxidants may help reduce inflammation associated with lung diseases. Always consult your doctor for individual dietary advice.
