What is Nintedanib?
Nintedanib, the active ingredient in Nintedanib Eurogenerics, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor presented as a 100 mg capsule for oral use. It is indicated for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease, and as part of combination therapy for non‑small cell lung cancer in appropriate patients.\n\nGNH India supplies Nintedanib Eurogenerics as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, oncology centres, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, providing consistent quality and regulatory compliance.
What is Nintedanib used for?
Nintedanib is approved for fibrotic lung diseases and as an adjunct in certain lung cancer treatment regimens.\n\n- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: slows disease progression and reduces the rate of decline in forced vital capacity, helping preserve lung function.\n- Systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease: improves pulmonary outcomes by limiting fibrosis and maintaining respiratory capacity in affected patients.\n- Non‑small cell lung cancer (in combination therapy): contributes to tumor control when combined with chemotherapy agents, extending progression‑free survival in eligible patients.
What are the side effects of Nintedanib?
Nintedanib may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.\n\nCommon Side Effects:\n- Nausea: frequent gastrointestinal upset.\n- Diarrhea: often watery and may lead to dehydration.\n- Vomiting: occasional episodes of stomach emptying.\n- Decreased appetite: reduced desire to eat.\n- Abdominal pain: mild to moderate discomfort.\n- Weight loss: unintended loss of body weight.\n\nSerious or Rare Side Effects:\n- Elevated liver enzymes (ALT/AST): indicates potential liver injury.\n- Hepatitis or liver failure: rare but severe hepatic toxicity.\n- Severe bleeding events: increased risk of hemorrhage.\n- Cardiovascular complications (e.g., myocardial infarction): rare heart events.\n- Gastrointestinal perforation: rare but serious intestinal injury.\n- Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome): life‑threatening dermatologic response.
