Key Benefits of Ofev 100 mg
- Helps slow the progression of IPF: Used for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic lung disease that causes scarring of lung tissue.
- Treats other fibrosing lung diseases: Used to treat certain other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases with a progressive phenotype.
- Slows lung function decline: Helps reduce the rate of decline in lung function in eligible patients.
- Supports SSc-ILD treatment: May be prescribed for adults with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD).
- Supports long-term disease management: Used under specialist medical supervision.
How It Works
- Ofev contains nintedanib, a medicine that slows the scarring of lung tissue.
- In pulmonary fibrosis, the lungs gradually become thick and stiff, making it harder to breathe and causing a persistent dry cough, breathlessness and tiredness.
- Nintedanib blocks several growth signals that drive this scarring.
- It cannot undo damage that has already happened, but it helps slow the decline in lung function.
- Ofev is prescribed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, other progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases, and interstitial lung disease linked to systemic sclerosis.
