Pirfenex Tablet is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a condition where lung tissue becomes thick, stiff, and scarred. This scarring, or fibrosis, makes breathing difficult and can cause dry cough and shortness of breath. Pirfenex Tablet works by reducing scarring and swelling in the lungs, helping patients breathe more easily. It should be taken with food at the same time every day, and the dose is determined by your doctor based on your condition. Continuous use as prescribed is important to achieve the full benefits of treatment. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as some may interact with Pirfenex Tablet. Protective measures such as wearing sunscreen or clothing are recommended because this medicine increases sensitivity to sunlight.
