Pirfenex (Pirfenidone) is an anti-fibrotic medicine used for the treatment of the lung disease IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). It works by decreasing fibroblast growth and decelerating disease progression. IPF is a progressive disease whereby the formation of scar tissue occurs in the lungs. This scar tissue gets thicker as the disease progresses, which brings about stiff lungs. As a result, lung function is reduced and it is more difficult for oxygen to get from the lungs to the blood and vital organs. Breathing difficulties could also occur. This medicine may affect TGF (transforming growth factor) and TNF (tumor necrosis factor) production, which can result in reduced inflammation and disruption of fibrosis. Pirfenex will not cure the condition but will slow down the progress of the disease.
Pirfenex (Pirfenidone) comes in 200mg strength tablets for oral administration. Patients are often advised to take the medicine with food, to reduce the occurrence of vertigo or sickness. Physicians may direct patients to take the medication thrice daily. Changes to the dosage may, however, be ordered by the physician mostly within the first two weeks of treatment. Regular medical check-ups will be needed to enable your physician monitor the progress of the treatment. Be sure not to miss a scheduled check-up.
