Eplerenone

Eplerenone is a medication used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure. It works by blocking a hormone called aldosterone, which can cause the body to retain salt and water, leading to increased blood pressure and strain on the heart. By inhibiting aldosterone, eplerenone helps lower blood pressure, reduce swelling, and protect the heart and kidneys from damage. It’s often prescribed for patients with heart issues or those at risk of heart failure, and it requires regular medical supervision to monitor kidney function and electrolyte levels.
