Indications & Clinical Uses

Nintedanib is used to treat fibrotic lung conditions by targeting pathways that drive fibroblast activity.

  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: slows decline in lung function and reduces disease progression.
  • Systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease: limits fibrosis development and preserves respiratory capacity.
  • Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease: decelerates overall fibrotic progression across eligible disease subtypes.

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 differentiation, thereby attenuating the deposition of extracellular matrix and slowing the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

Side Effects

Nintedanib may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Decreased appetite
  • Weight loss

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Elevated liver enzymes (hepatotoxicity)
  • Bleeding events, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage
  • Cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction
  • Severe infections
  • Gastrointestinal perforation
  • Life‑threatening 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.

  • Monitor liver function: obtain baseline and periodic liver‑function tests.
  • Assess bleeding risk: avoid concomitant use of strong anticoagulants unless clinically necessary.
  • Evaluate cardiovascular status: monitor blood pressure and signs of ischemic events.
  • Pregnancy considerations: avoid use during pregnancy; safety data are lacking.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Avoid Interactions

Nintedanib can interact with other medicines that affect its metabolism or increase bleeding risk.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): may increase nintedanib exposure.
  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine): may reduce efficacy.
  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants): heightened bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • P‑gp inhibitors (e.g., verapamil, amiodarone): may modestly raise plasma levels.
  • Antacids or proton‑pump inhibitors: could affect gastrointestinal absorption.
  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): additive bleeding potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nintedanib Teva is prescribed for adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis‑associated interstitial lung disease. In both conditions it works to slow the progression of lung fibrosis, helping to preserve lung function and improve quality of life when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Nintedanib blocks several receptor tyrosine kinases—VEGFR, PDGFR and FGFR—thereby inhibiting the signals that drive fibroblast growth, migration and transformation into scar‑forming cells. This reduction in fibroblast activity limits the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix that characterises progressive lung fibrosis.

The specific dose and dosing schedule of Nintedanib are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, renal and hepatic function, and concomitant therapies. Healthcare professionals should follow the approved prescribing information and adjust the regimen as clinically indicated.

Safety data for Nintedanib in pregnant or lactating women are limited, and the product is classified as contraindicated or not recommended during pregnancy. Women of child‑bearing potential should use effective contraception, and breastfeeding should be avoided unless the benefits outweigh potential risks as assessed by a physician.

To request Nintedanib Teva, 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 cold‑chain requirements) and the necessary import documentation.

The primary alternative antifibrotic agent is pirfenidone, which also slows disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis but has a different safety profile, notably a higher incidence of photosensitivity and rash. Nintedanib’s mechanism targets multiple tyrosine kinases, offering broader antifibrotic activity, while its most common adverse effect is gastrointestinal upset.

Nintedanib should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and excessive heat. Keep the product out of direct sunlight and away from sources of humidity. Do not refrigerate or freeze the tablets, and retain them in a location inaccessible to children.

Nintedanib is taken orally, usually with food to lessen gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water and follow the dosing instructions provided by their healthcare professional. Consistency in timing each day helps maintain stable drug levels.

Serious risks include liver enzyme elevations that may indicate hepatotoxicity, significant bleeding events, cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction, and rare but severe skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should report persistent abdominal pain, unusual bruising, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and any severe rash to their physician promptly.

Nintedanib is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of its excipients. It should also be avoided in individuals with severe hepatic impairment, uncontrolled bleeding disorders, or those who are pregnant. Clinicians must assess each patient’s medical history before initiating therapy.
