Pirfenoid 200 Tablet is used to slow the progression of mild to moderate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in adults. It helps reduce the build-up of scar tissue in the lungs. It is not a cure for IPF and does not reverse existing scarring.
It contains pirfenidone (200 mg), an anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory medicine. Take it with food as prescribed to reduce stomach side effects.
Sun protection (sunscreen and protective clothing) is essential, as this medicine increases skin sensitivity to sunlight. Avoiding or limiting alcohol may help reduce the risk of liver problems alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any liver problems or photosensitive skin disorders before starting, and about other medicines you take. Report a severe skin reaction, marked stomach pain or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
