About Ofev

Overview

This medication is used to treat certain types of lung disease (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis- IPF, interstitial lung disease). Both types of lung disease scar and stiffen your lungs, making it hard to breathe. Nintedanib may help slow down the worsening of your lung disease.

How to use

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking nintedanib and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth with food as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (about 12 hours apart). The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

Swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush or chew because the drug has a bitter taste.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.

Tell your doctor if your condition worsens.

Side effects

Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and weight loss may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting can be persistent and/or severe. Your doctor may have you drink more fluids if these symptoms occur and prescribe medications to treat the diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: unusual bruising/bleeding, cough/stuffy chest, symptoms of liver problems (such as dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin).

Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: symptoms of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, unusual sweating), symptoms of a stroke (such as weakness on one side of body, sudden vision problems, slurred speech), severe stomach/abdominal pain, abdominal swelling.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

Some products that may interact with this drug include: drugs that can cause bleeding/bruising (including antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen/naproxen, "blood thinners" such as warfarin/dabigatran).

Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding when used with this medication.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

Other medications can affect the removal of nintedanib from your body, which may affect how nintedanib works. Examples include rifamycins (such as rifampicin), St. John's wort, drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin), among others.
