What is Nintedanib?

Nintedanib, the active ingredient in Nintedanib Teva, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease in adult patients.

GNH USA supplies Nintedanib Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier, providing the product to hospitals, pharmacies and specialty clinics across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Our quality‑assured distribution network ensures consistent availability for patients worldwide. All shipments meet EU GMP standards and are tracked with full traceability.

What is Nintedanib used for?

Nintedanib Teva is used to treat fibrotic lung diseases by targeting pathways that drive fibroblast activity. - Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: slows disease progression and reduces decline in lung function. - Systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease: helps preserve lung capacity and delays worsening of respiratory symptoms. - Other progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases: may reduce the rate of forced vital capacity decline in patients with a progressive phenotype.

What are the side effects of Nintedanib?

Nintedanib may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Diarrhea: frequent loose stools, often manageable with antidiarrheal agents. - Nausea: mild to moderate feeling of sickness. - Vomiting: occasional episodes. - Decreased appetite: reduced desire to eat. - Abdominal pain: discomfort in the stomach area. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild increases in ALT/AST.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: significant liver injury requiring monitoring. - Bleeding events: increased risk of gastrointestinal or other bleeding. - Cardiovascular events: rare cases of myocardial infarction or stroke. - Severe infections: opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. - Interstitial lung disease exacerbation: worsening of underlying lung condition.

What precautions apply to Nintedanib?

When prescribing Nintedanib, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures to ensure patient safety. - Liver function monitoring: check ALT, AST and bilirubin before and during therapy. - Gastrointestinal management: advise patients to stay hydrated and report severe diarrhea. - Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate history of ischemic heart disease before initiation. - Bleeding risk evaluation: avoid concomitant anticoagulants unless necessary. - Pregnancy and lactation: drug is contraindicated; advise effective contraception. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, protect from moisture and light in original packaging.

What does Nintedanib interact with?

Nintedanib can interact with other medicines, affecting its efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: may increase nintedanib exposure and toxicity. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): heightened risk of bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers: may alter plasma levels, requiring observation. - P-glycoprotein substrates: potential changes in drug transport. - NSAIDs and antiplatelet agents: additive bleeding risk. - Proton pump inhibitors: may affect absorption, monitor clinical response.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nintedanib Teva used for?+
Nintedanib Teva is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor prescribed for adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease. It works by slowing the fibrotic process in the lungs, helping to preserve lung function and delay disease progression.
How does Nintedanib work?+
Nintedanib blocks several receptor tyrosine kinases—VEGFR, PDGFR and FGFR—thereby inhibiting signalling pathways that drive fibroblast proliferation, differentiation and extracellular matrix deposition. This reduces the formation of scar tissue in the lungs and mitigates the fibrotic remodeling characteristic of the indicated diseases.
What is the usual dose of Nintedanib Teva?+
The dosage of Nintedanib Teva is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, weight, renal and hepatic function, and other clinical factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose without medical guidance.
Is Nintedanib safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of Nintedanib in pregnancy and lactation has not been established, and the product is generally contraindicated. Women of child‑bearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment and for a suitable period after the last dose. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking the drug.
How do I order Nintedanib Teva from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity of Nintedanib Teva. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Nintedanib compare with other antifibrotic agents?+
Nintedanib differs from other antifibrotic drugs such as pirfenidone by targeting a broader range of tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR). This multi‑target approach may offer benefits in certain patient sub‑groups, but the choice of therapy depends on individual clinical assessment, tolerability, and physician preference.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Nintedanib Teva?+
Nintedanib Teva tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in their original blister pack to protect from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposure to excessive heat or humidity.
How is Nintedanib Teva administered?+
Nintedanib Teva is taken orally, usually with food to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. The tablets are swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients should follow the dosing schedule prescribed by their healthcare provider and report any persistent side effects.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nintedanib?+
Serious risks include hepatotoxicity, which may manifest as elevated liver enzymes or liver injury, and an increased tendency to bleed, especially when combined with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs. Rarely, cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke have been reported. Regular monitoring is essential.
Who should not use Nintedanib Teva?+
Patients with severe hepatic impairment, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or known hypersensitivity to nintedanib or any excipients should avoid the drug. It is also contraindicated in pregnant or nursing women. Clinicians must evaluate each individual’s medical history before initiating therapy.
