Nintabid 100 Capsule 10 contains Nintedanib (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Tyrosine kinase inhibition: Nintedanib blocks multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, which are enzymes involved in the processes that cause fibrosis (scarring) in the lungs.

• Anti-fibrotic action: By inhibiting these key enzymes, nintedanib helps slow down the progression of lung fibrosis, reducing the formation of scar tissue in the lungs.

• Anti-cancer effect: In non-small cell lung cancer, nintedanib works by blocking enzymes that support tumour growth, helping to slow down the progression of cancer.

• Anti-inflammatory activity: The medicine reduces inflammation in the lungs, which contributes to its beneficial effects in various interstitial lung diseases.
