Ofev (Nintedanib)

Ofev is a prescription IPF treatment medication used for lung diseases, and to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease specifically. The active ingredient in the medication - Nintedanib - works to block the activity of certain cells so that scarring of the lung tissue is slowed and there is less stiffening of the lungs and the breathing difficulties that come with these diseases. It is the first FDA-approved treatment for adults with chronic ILD and physicians are quick to prescribe it for patients who have worsening IPF or ILD and decreased lung function because of it.

You can buy Ofev with a prescription, and your lowest Ofev cost will be when you order medication online from Canada and Canpharm.
