WHAT OFEV IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ofev contains the active substance nintedanib, a medicine belonging to
the class of so-called tyrosine
kinase inhibitors, and it is used for the treatment of idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), other chronic
fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive
phenotype and systemic sclerosis
associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) in adults.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
IPF is a condition in which the tissue in your lungs becomes
thickened, stiff and scarred over time. As
a result, scarring reduces the ability to transfer oxygen from the
lungs into the bloodstream and it
becomes difficult to breathe deeply. Ofev helps to reduce further
scarring and stiffening of the lungs.
Other chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a
progressive phenotype
Besides IPF, there are other conditions in which the tissue in your
lungs becomes thickened, stiff, and
scarred over time (lung fibrosis) and keeps worsening (progressive
phenotype). Examples of these
conditions are hypersensitivity pneumonitis, autoimmune ILDs (e.g.
rheumatoid arthritis associated
ILD), idiopathic nonspecific interstitia
