PIRFENOID 200 

Pirfenidone (200mg)

PIRFENOID 200, is a medication primarily used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a chronic, progressive lung disease characterized by the scarring of lung tissue, leading to severe breathing difficulties. This comprehensive article delves into the uses, dosage, side effects, pricing, and important considerations associated with PIRFENOID 200.

What is PIRFENOID 200?

PIRFENOID 200 contains 200mg of pirfenidone, an antifibrotic agent that helps slow the progression of IPF.  By mitigating this process, PIRFENOID 200 helps improve or maintain lung function and quality of life in patients with IPF.

Uses of PIRFENOID 200

Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

The primary use of PIRFENOID 200 is to manage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This condition, with an unknown cause, leads to the thickening and stiffening of lung tissues, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. Pirfenidone helps slow the progression of this scarring, allowing patients to maintain better respiratory function for a longer period.

Improving Quality of Life

Patients with IPF often experience a significant decline in their quality of life due to breathing difficulties and reduced physical capabilities. By slowing disease progression, PIRFENOID 200 can help improve patients' overall well-being and ability to perform daily activities.

Dosage and Administration

Initial Dosage

The typical starting dosage of PIRFENOID 200 is gradually increased over the first two weeks to minimize side effects. The recommended initial regimen is as follows:

• Days 8-14: 400mg (two tablets) three times a day.

Maintenance Dosage

From day 15 onwards, the maintenance dose is generally 600mg (three tablets) three times a day, totaling 1800mg per day. It's important to take PIRFENOID 200 with food to reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects.

Side Effects of PIRFENOID 200

While PIRFENOID 200 is beneficial for managing IPF, it may cause side effects in some patients. Common side effects include:

Gastrointestinal Issues

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Indigestion

Taking PIRFENOID 200 with food can help mitigate these gastrointestinal symptoms.

Skin Reactions

• Rash
• Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight)

Patients are advised to use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposed to sunlight to reduce the risk of photosensitivity.

Fatigue and Dizziness

Some patients may experience fatigue and dizziness. It's important to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if these symptoms occur.

Liver Enzyme Elevations

Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended, as pirfenidone can cause elevated liver enzymes. Adjustments in dosage or discontinuation of the medication may be necessary if significant changes in liver function are detected.

Precautions and Warnings

Liver Function

Patients with pre-existing liver conditions or those taking other medications affecting liver function should use PIRFENOID 200 with caution. Regular liver function tests are essential to monitor for potential hepatotoxicity.

Kidney Function

Although pirfenidone is primarily metabolized by the liver, patients with severe renal impairment should consult their healthcare provider before starting PIRFENOID 200.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

The safety of PIRFENOID 200 during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established.

Drug Interactions

PIRFENOID 200 can interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungal agents, and medications that affect liver enzymes.

Price and Availability

PIRFENOID 200 is available by prescription and can be obtained from pharmacies. The price may vary depending on the region, pharmacy, and insurance coverage. Patients are advised to check with their healthcare provider or pharmacist for the most accurate pricing information.
