Pirfenidone 200mg (Pirfenex) Tablets

Pirfenidone 200mg, marketed under the brand name Pirfenex, is an antifibrotic prescription medicine used in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic lung condition that causes progressive scarring of lung tissue and reduced lung function over time.

Pirfenidone works by slowing the formation of fibrotic tissue in the lungs, helping to delay disease progression and support better respiratory function. It is usually prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan under strict medical supervision.

The 200mg strength is often used as part of a dose-adjustment or titration schedule, depending on patient tolerance and physician recommendation. Regular monitoring is important during therapy to ensure safety and effectiveness.
