Pirfib 400 MG Tablet 10 contains pirfenidone (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits Growth Factors: Pirfenidone blocks specific proteins called growth factors that contribute to the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.

• Reduces Lung Scarring: It decreases the development of fibrosis, which is the abnormal formation of scar tissue that makes the lungs stiff and less able to function properly.

• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Pirfenidone helps reduce the swelling in lung tissues, which is one of the key factors in the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

• Preserves Lung Function: By targeting the mechanisms of scarring and inflammation, this medicine helps maintain better breathing capacity over time.

• Store at room temperature, ideally not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep away from excess heat, direct sunlight, and moisture.
