Pirfenidone is a medication prescribed for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that leads to scarring of the lungs without a known cause. This medication works by blocking the action of specific natural substances in the body that are involved in the formation of this scarring. By doing so, it may help slow down the progression of the disease and improve lung function. While taking pirfenidone, some people may experience side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, stomach pain, headaches, dizziness, and sinus pressure or tenderness. If any of these symptoms become severe or do not go away, it is important to inform your doctor. It is crucial to follow your prescriber's directions carefully when taking pirfenidone. Your doctor will determine the right dose for you and may start you on a lower dose, gradually increasing it as needed. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Always consult your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your treatment with pirfenidone.
