Overview
Pirfeheal 200mg (pirfenidone) is a prescription specialist medicine used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious long-term condition in which the lungs become progressively scarred and stiff, causing breathlessness and cough. Pirfenidone has anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory actions that help slow the scarring of lung tissue and the decline in lung function. It is prescribed and monitored by a specialist for adults living with IPF, as part of long-term respiratory care.
