Manufacturer : BDR PHARMACEUTICALS INTERNATIONALS PVT LTDOrigin of Medicine : IndiaIntroduction:
Bronchonib 100mg Capsule consists of the active ingredient Nintedanib. It is used to treat lung diseases namely idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis occurs when the lung’s tissues thicken and becomes stiff, thus reducing the ability of oxygen to transfer from lungs to bloodstream. This causes difficulty in breathing.
Chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases like hypersensitive pneumonitis, autoimmune interstitial lung diseases, idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and other ILDs are caused by thickening and scarring of the lung’s tissues that worsens over time.
Systemic sclerosis is caused by scarring of tissues in various parts of the body such as the skin and internal organs. Talk to your physician if you are on blood thinning medications or if you have recently undergone surgery.
Uses of Bronchonib 100mg Capsule:
Bronchonib 100mg Capsule is indicated to treat the following conditions:
- Lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
