Indications & Clinical Uses

Nintedanib is an antifibrotic agent used in fibrotic lung diseases.

  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: slows disease progression and reduces decline in lung function.
  • Systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease: improves lung capacity and delays worsening.
  • Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease: provides benefit in patients with a fibrotic phenotype when other treatments are insufficient.

How It Works

  • Nintedanib inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases—including vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR), platelet‑derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR). By blocking these pathways, it reduces fibroblast proliferation, migration and extracellular matrix deposition, thereby limiting fibrotic tissue formation in the lungs.

Side Effects

Nintedanib may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are manageable with supportive care.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Decreased appetite
  • Headache

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Elevated liver enzymes (hepatotoxicity)
  • Bleeding events
  • Cardiovascular complications (e.g., myocardial infarction)
  • Severe infections
  • Gastrointestinal perforations
  • Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome)

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should evaluate patient‑specific risk factors and monitor for known safety concerns.

  • Liver function monitoring: assess transaminases before starting and periodically during therapy.
  • Bleeding risk: avoid concomitant anticoagulants unless medically necessary.
  • Cardiovascular assessment: monitor for hypertension or ischemic events.
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms: manage nausea and diarrhea proactively.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh risks; consult physician.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Nintedanib can interact with several drug classes; awareness of interaction severity guides clinical decisions.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: may increase nintedanib exposure.
  • Anticoagulants: heightened bleeding risk.
  • P‑gp inhibitors: may raise plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • CYP3A4 inducers: may reduce efficacy.
  • Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): may modestly increase exposure.
  • Diuretics: monitor electrolytes and renal function.
  • Antifungal agents: assess for additive hepatic effects.
  • NSAIDs: evaluate bleeding risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nintedanib Teva is indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease in adult patients. It helps slow disease progression, preserve lung function and improve quality of life by targeting the underlying fibrotic processes.

Nintedanib blocks several receptor tyrosine kinases, including VEGFR, PDGFR and FGFR. Inhibition of these pathways reduces fibroblast activation, migration and extracellular matrix production, thereby limiting the formation of scar tissue in the lungs.

The prescribed dose of Nintedanib Teva is determined by the treating physician based on the patient’s clinical condition, renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. The prescribing information provides detailed dosing guidance that the prescriber will follow.

Data on the use of Nintedanib during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with 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 and any necessary import documentation.

The primary alternative antifibrotic agent is pirfenidone. Both drugs aim to slow lung‑fibrosis progression, but they differ in molecular targets, side‑effect profiles and dosing regimens. Nintedanib’s multi‑kinase inhibition may offer broader antifibrotic activity, while pirfenidone primarily modulates inflammatory pathways.

Store the tablets at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original blister pack or container. Protect them from excess moisture, heat and direct sunlight to maintain product stability throughout its shelf life.

Nintedanib Teva is taken orally, usually with food to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not chewed or crushed, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious adverse events include liver enzyme elevations, significant bleeding, cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction, severe infections, gastrointestinal perforations, and rare skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should report any unusual symptoms promptly to their physician.

Nintedanib is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of its excipients. Caution is advised for individuals with severe hepatic impairment, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or those taking strong CYP3A4 or P‑gp inhibitors. The prescriber will assess suitability on a case‑by‑case basis.
