Pirfetab 200mg Tablet is Zydus Cadila pirfenidone formulation for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, supplied in a pack of ten tablets. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis causes the thin tissue surrounding the air sacs to thicken into scar, so the lungs can no longer stretch easily. Breathlessness on mild activity, a dry cough that will not settle and steadily falling stamina are the usual signs. Pirfenidone targets the signalling that pushes scar tissue to form and also reduces inflammation in the affected lung. Treatment is aimed at slowing decline over months and years, which is why consistency matters so much. The 200mg strength is normally where therapy begins, before the dose is stepped up under supervision. Taking each tablet with food helps to blunt the nausea and indigestion that often appear early. Liver function blood tests are carried out before and during the course of treatment. Sun sensitivity rises markedly on pirfenidone, so sunscreen and protective clothing become a daily habit. Keep the pack in a cool dry place, away from light and well out of reach of children.
