Esbriet (pirfenidone) 801mg Tablets Online
Esbriet (pirfenidone) is used to treat a lung disease called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF). IPF causes scar tissue to form deep within your lungs. The scar tissue thickens and becomes stiff or thick over time, which can make it harder for your lungs to work. Decreased lung function can make it hard for you to breathe. Other medical problems can occur when your brain, heart, and other organs do not get enough oxygen.
Esbriet is contraindicated in patients with concomitant use of fluvoxamine. Fluvoxamine should be discontinued prior to the initiation of Esbriet therapy and avoided during Esbriet therapy due to the reduced clearance of Esbriet. Other therapies that are inhibitors of both CYP1A2 and one or more other CYP isoenzymes involved in the metabolism of Esbriet (e.g. CYP2C9, 2C19, and 2D6) should be avoided during Esbriet treatment.
Pirfenidone comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken with food three times a day. Take pirfenidone capsules at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take pirfenidone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
