Cipla has launched generic Nintedanib for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Available as 100 mg and 150 mg capsules, it will be marketed under the brand name Nintib. This launch marks yet another milestone in Cipla’s decade-long commitment to treat IPF, a rare lung disease that impacts ten in one lakh people.

Further to this, company reduced the cost of its IPF therapy by 40% in 2013 to provide patient-access to this critical treatment. In line with its endeavour of enabling effective and affordable management of IPF, Cipla’s Nintib is priced at Rs 69 (100 mg) and Rs 85 (150 mg) per capsule.
