Nintedanib 150mg Soft Gelatin Capsules are an oral prescription medicine containing nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat certain progressive lung diseases. It works by blocking signalling pathways involved in fibrosis and the formation of scar tissue in the lungs.

In certain cases, it is also used with docetaxel to treat specific types of non-small cell lung cancer, depending on the approved product indication.
