Pulmofib 200mg Tablet from MSN Laboratories is a pirfenidone medicine prescribed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, supplied in a pack of ten tablets. In this condition the delicate tissue around the air sacs is progressively replaced by stiff fibrous scar, so the lungs cannot stretch as they should. Patients usually notice shortness of breath that worsens with activity, a persistent dry cough and growing fatigue. Pirfenidone works on the growth factors that drive the scarring process and reduces the inflammation accompanying it. The aim of treatment is to slow how quickly lung function declines rather than to reverse existing damage. The 200mg strength is typically used at the beginning, while the daily dose is being stepped up gradually. Taking each dose with food greatly reduces the nausea and stomach upset common in the early weeks. Liver function is checked by blood test before treatment and at intervals afterwards. Pirfenidone makes skin much more reactive to sunlight, so sunscreen and covered clothing are important. Store the pack somewhere cool and dry, away from light and out of reach of children.
