Prutis 150 Capsule 10 contains Nintedanib (150 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Tyrosine kinase inhibition: Nintedanib blocks specific enzymes called tyrosine kinases that are involved in the development and progression of fibrosis and inflammation in the lungs.

• VEGFR blockade: It inhibits Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors (VEGFRs), which are proteins that stimulate the formation of new blood vessels that can contribute to disease progression.

• FGFR Inhibition: The medicine blocks Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs), which play a key role in the signalling pathways that lead to lung scarring and fibrosis.

• PDGFR Suppression: It suppresses Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptors (PDGFRs), which are involved in cell growth and division processes that can worsen lung scarring.

• Keep Prutis 150 Capsule 10 in its original package to protect from moisture.

• Store at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

• Always store this medicine out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Discard any unused medicine properly as advised by your pharmacist.

• Maintain a balanced diet: For lung fibrosis conditions, eating anti-inflammatory foods rich in antioxidants (like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids) may help reduce inflammation in the lungs alongside your medicine.

• Avoid respiratory irritants: Steer clear of smoke, strong fumes, and air pollution as these can worsen lung scarring (fibrosis) and breathing difficulties in conditions that Prutis 150 Capsule 10 helps manage.
