How much does a box of Nintedanib cost in India?

Nintedanib(Nintedanib) is a drug used to treat certain types of lung disease. It belongs to a class of drugs called multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Nintedanib is primarily indicated for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype, and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Its working mechanism involves inhibiting the activity of several receptors, including platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). By inhibiting these receptors, nintedanib can prevent the activation of related signaling pathways, reduce inflammation and fibrosis processes, and thereby reduce the symptoms of lung diseases.
