Pulmofib 200 mg Tablet is an anti-fibrotic medicine used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in adults. IPF is an irreversible disease that is marked by a progressive decline in lung function. The tissues in the lungs become swollen and scarred over time, due to which it gets difficult to breathe deeply. The scarring makes it hard for the lungs to work properly.
 
Pulmofib 200 mg Tablet contains ‘Pirfenidone’, which helps in reducing the scarring and swelling in the lungs by decreasing the release/activity of naturally occurring growth factors in the body, thereby helps you breathe better. Pulmofib 200 mg Tablet helps in slowing down the progress of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
