What is the drug NORSPRILAN®
NORSPRILAN® contains the active substance
pirfenidone and is used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(IPF). IPF is a condition in which the lung tissue becomes swollen and scarred
over time, making it difficult to breathe deeply. This prevents your lungs from
working properly. Pirfenidone reduces scarring, which allows you to breathe
better.
The mechanism of action of
pirfenidone is not fully established, but it is known that it exhibits
antifibrosing and anti-inflammatory properties (reduces inflammation and
scarring of the lung tissue). Pirfenidone belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic
group called "immunosuppressants".
