Pirfeheal

Product Overview

Pirfeheal is a medication containing the active ingredient Pirfenidone. Designed for specific respiratory conditions, this drug helps manage symptoms and progression of certain diseases.

Uses

Pirfeheal is primarily utilized for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a condition where the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult over time.

How it Works

Pirfenidone, the main component of Pirfeheal, acts as an antifibrotic agent. It works by reducing the release of growth factors and inflammatory cytokines. This, in turn, inhibits the proliferation and activation of fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for producing the extracellular matrix and collagen. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but Pirfenidone essentially helps in reducing the progression of lung scarring.

Dosage and Administration

Typically, the recommended dose is one Pirfeheal tablet taken three times daily with food, amounting to a total of 600 mg per day. However, always adhere to the prescribed dose and frequency provided by your healthcare professional.
