WHAT ESBRIET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Esbriet contains the active substance pirfenidone and it is used for
the treatment of Idiopathic
Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) in adults.
IPF is a condition in which the tissues in your lungs become swollen
and scarred over time, and as a
result makes it difficult to breathe deeply. This makes it hard for
your lungs to work properly. Esbriet
helps to reduce scarring and swelling in the lungs, and helps you
breathe better.
