Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Nintedanib is used in fibrotic lung disease pathways to limit disease progression and preserve lung function.
  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: slows the rate of forced vital capacity decline, helping maintain breathing capacity and quality of life in affected adults.
  • Systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease: reduces progression of lung fibrosis, supporting better pulmonary outcomes and functional status in patients with systemic sclerosis.
  • Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease: in adults with a progressive fibrotic phenotype, it helps to slow lung function decline when conventional treatment options are limited.

How It Works

  • Nintedanib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR 1‑3), platelet‑derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR‑α/β) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR 1‑3). By blocking these pathways, the drug reduces fibroblast activation, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix deposition, thereby attenuating the fibrotic remodeling process in lung tissue.

Side Effects

Nintedanib may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and clinical significance.

Common Side Effects

  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Decreased appetite

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Elevated liver enzymes or hepatic injury
  • Increased risk of bleeding events
  • Gastrointestinal perforation

Precautions & Warnings

When prescribing Nintedanib, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

  • Dose adjustment: renal or hepatic impairment may require dose modification.
  • Bleeding risk: avoid concomitant anticoagulants unless medically necessary.
  • Liver monitoring: perform baseline and periodic liver function tests.
  • Gastrointestinal events: monitor for severe diarrhea and dehydration.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, protect from moisture and light in original packaging.

Avoid Interactions

Nintedanib can interact with other medicines, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin): may increase nintedanib exposure.
  • Anticoagulants (warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants): heightened bleeding risk.
  • Antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel): increased hemorrhage potential.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., fluconazole): may modestly raise drug levels.
  • CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): may reduce efficacy.
  • P‑gp inhibitors (e.g., verapamil): may increase exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nintedanib Eg is prescribed to treat fibrotic lung conditions, primarily idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease. In these diseases it helps to slow the decline in lung function and may improve quality of life for adult patients.

The drug blocks several receptor tyrosine kinases—VEGFR, PDGFR and FGFR—thereby reducing fibroblast activation, angiogenesis and the deposition of extracellular matrix. This inhibition curtails the fibrotic remodeling process that characterises progressive lung scarring.

The specific dose and dosing schedule are determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s condition, weight, organ function and concomitant therapies. Clinicians follow approved labeling and may adjust the regimen according to tolerability and clinical response.

Safety data for Nintedanib during pregnancy and lactation are limited. The drug should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and women of child‑bearing potential are generally advised to use effective contraception.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any temperature‑controlled requirements) and the necessary import documentation.

The principal alternative antifibrotic agent is pirfenidone, which also slows lung function decline in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Nintedanib targets a broader range of tyrosine kinases, while pirfenidone’s mechanism involves inhibition of transforming growth factor‑β signaling. Choice between them depends on efficacy, tolerability, drug‑interaction profile and individual patient factors.

Nintedanib should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity.

The medication is taken orally, usually with food to lessen gastrointestinal discomfort. Tablets are swallowed whole with a full glass of water and should be taken at the same times each day as directed by the healthcare provider.

Patients should be alert for signs of liver injury (elevated liver enzymes, jaundice), severe bleeding, and gastrointestinal perforation. Prompt medical evaluation is advised if symptoms such as unexplained abdominal pain, black stools, or yellowing of the skin or eyes occur.

Nintedanib is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its excipients, and in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Caution is also warranted for those with active bleeding disorders or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease.
