What Is Nintemed (Nintedanib) 150mg capsule?

Nintemed (Nintedanib) 150mg  is a soft gelatin capsule prescribed for adults suffering from chronic and life-threatening lung diseases. It works by blocking specific enzymes (tyrosine kinases) responsible for abnormal cell growth and fibrosis — the scarring process that progressively destroys lung tissue.

It is available as a prescription-only medicine and must be taken under the direct supervision of a qualified specialist.

Uses of Nintemed (Nintedanib) 150mg capsule

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

The primary use of Nintedanib is in treating Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) — a chronic condition where lung tissue becomes scarred and stiff, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. Nintedanib slows the rate of lung function decline in IPF patients, improving quality of life over time.

Systemic Sclerosis-Associated ILD

Nintedanib 150mg Capsule is also approved for Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD), a condition where autoimmune inflammation leads to progressive fibrosis.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Under the brand Vargatef, Nintedanib is used in combination with docetaxel chemotherapy for the second-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with adenocarcinoma histology.
