Uses of Nintabid Capsule
Benefits of Nintabid Capsule
In Treatment of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease caused by lung tissue becoming thick and stiff and eventually forming scar tissue within the lungs. The scarring, or fibrosis, seems to result from a cycle of damage and healing that occurs in the lungs. These changes are irreversible and the affected person may experience shortness of breath or dry cough as initial symptoms. Nintabid 100mg Capsule kills or stops the growth of cancer cells and also prevents the multiplication of cancer cells. You may experience some bothersome side effects. Discuss with your doctor if you have any doubts.
