How it works:
Eplerenone is a selective aldosterone receptor antagonist that reduces sodium and water retention, lowers heart load, and prevents myocardial fibrosis. Compared to spironolactone, it has fewer hormonal side effects.
Recommended for:
Taken orally once daily, preferably at the same time each day. Dosage is determined individually by a physician based on the patient’s clinical condition, kidney function, and serum potassium levels. May be used with other antihypertensive medications.
