What are Esbriet (pirfenidone) “EMA numbers”?
“EMA number” usually refers to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) product identifier used in the EU’s medicines database (often shown as an EPAR/EMA entry number or a similar reference on EU documentation). However, the exact “EMA number” you want can vary depending on where you saw it (packaging, an EMA document, or a database listing).
To give you the correct identifier, I need one detail:
- Are you asking for the EMA/EPAR entry for Esbriet (pirfenidone) itself, or for a specific strength/formulation (e.g., tablets vs. capsules), or for a marketing-authorisation number?
Which “Esbriet” format are you looking up?
Esbriet is marketed in different strengths and presentations in the EU. The EMA/marketing authorization reference can differ by product strength/form. If you tell me the strength or the product type you have (for example, 267 mg capsules vs. another strength), I can pinpoint the right number.
Where did you see the EMA number listed?
If you paste the text around “EMA number” (even a screenshot transcription), I can interpret what it refers to and match it to the correct EMA identifier.
Quick way to find it (if you’re doing it yourself)
In the EMA product page/EPAR record for Esbriet, look for the fields that typically include:
- EPAR/EMA product entry reference
- marketing authorisation details (often an “authorisation number”)
- product identification tied to the strength/form
Send one of these and I’ll return the exact number
Reply with either:
1) the strength/form you mean (capsules/tablets and mg), or
2) a photo/screenshot text of the “EMA number” line, or
3) the link you were viewing (EMA page, EU database, or a document)
