Pirfenex 200mg Tablet from Cipla is a prescription antifibrotic medicine built around pirfenidone, supplied in a carton of fifteen film coated tablets. It is prescribed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a long term lung condition in which healthy lung tissue is slowly replaced by stiff scar tissue. As that scarring builds up the lungs lose the flexibility they need to move air efficiently, and breathlessness during ordinary activity becomes steadily worse. Pirfenidone works against the signalling that drives this scarring and also calms the underlying inflammation in lung tissue. Treatment aims to slow the rate of decline rather than reverse damage already done, so staying on the prescribed schedule matters a great deal. The 200mg strength is commonly used at the start of therapy, when a doctor gradually steps the daily dose upward so the body can adjust. Taking each dose with food helps reduce the nausea and stomach upset that some people notice early on. Your doctor will usually arrange liver function blood tests before and during treatment. Pirfenidone also makes skin far more sensitive to sunlight, so sunscreen and covered clothing become part of daily routine. Keep the pack in a cool dry place, out of direct light and well away from children.
