Nintena 150mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is prescribed for managing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis as well as certain cases of non-small cell lung cancer. The medicine works by interrupting processes that allow abnormal cells to grow and spread, and it also helps in slowing down scarring of lung tissue.

This capsule is best taken along with meals, ideally at the same time each day. The dose and frequency are decided by your doctor based on your health condition and response to treatment. It is important to take the medicine exactly as advised, since taking more than prescribed or using it incorrectly can cause serious side effects. Benefits may not be immediate and could take several weeks or months to appear, so treatment should not be stopped without medical guidance.

One of the most frequent problems seen with this medicine is diarrhea, so it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids. If this persists, your doctor should be informed. Other possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, changes in liver test results, headache, reduced appetite, weight loss, and increased blood pressure. Regular monitoring through blood tests may be needed to keep track of liver health.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, bleeding issues, or are using other medications, as interactions are possible. This medicine should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding because of potential risks to the baby. Both men and women are advised to follow effective contraceptive methods during therapy.

In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the lungs gradually become stiff due to scar tissue formation, which makes breathing difficult and often causes a persistent dry cough. By reducing fibrosis and restricting the multiplication of harmful cells, Nintena 150mg Soft Gelatin Capsule helps to slow disease progression and manage symptoms. It is also effective in controlling the growth of cancer cells in non-small cell lung cancer.

The capsule must be swallowed whole with food and should not be broken or chewed.

This medicine works by blocking certain abnormal signals in the body that encourage uncontrolled cell growth and tissue scarring. By targeting these pathways, it helps in slowing both cancer progression and fibrosis.

Alcohol use with this medicine has not been properly studied, so it is best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. It should not be taken during pregnancy except in rare situations where the benefit outweighs the risk. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as small amounts may pass into milk and harm the infant.

Dizziness, nausea, or a general feeling of being unwell may affect alertness, so driving or using machinery after taking the medicine is considered unsafe. Patients with severe liver or kidney problems need special medical supervision, and in some cases this capsule may not be recommended.

If a dose is missed, simply continue with the next scheduled dose. Doubling up should be avoided.
