Pirfedow Tablets 267mg Ingredients and Usage
Pirfedow Tablets contain Pirfenidone, an orally active antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory agent. This medication is clinically utilized for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a chronic and progressive condition where the lungs become scarred. By slowing the progression of lung scarring, Pirfedow helps preserve lung function and improves the patient’s breathing capacity. PakMeds provides this advanced clinical therapy to support patients managing complex interstitial lung diseases under specialist supervision.
How Does Pirfedow Tablets 267mg Work?
The exact mechanism of Pirfenidone is not fully understood, but it is known to inhibit the synthesis of TGF-beta, a chemical mediator that controls cell growth and the production of collagen. By reducing the production of collagen and other fibers in the lung tissue, Pirfedow slows the process of fibrosis (scarring). It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the cellular infiltration that precedes the scarring process, thereby protecting the delicate air sacs in the lungs from further damage.

The most frequent side effects are gastrointestinal, including nausea, dyspepsia, and abdominal discomfort. Skin-related side effects, particularly photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight), are common. Other potential effects include fatigue, dizziness, and loss of appetite.
List of Warnings:
- Liver function tests (ALT, AST, and bilirubin) must be conducted before starting treatment and monthly thereafter.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and use high-SPF sunscreen, as the drug causes significant photosensitivity.
