Eplerenone-Teva
Eplerenone-Teva is an oral medication used primarily to treat heart failure and hypertension. As an aldosterone antagonist, it helps reduce high blood pressure, contributing to cardiovascular health. By blocking aldosterone, Eplerenone-Teva aids in preventing the retention of sodium and water, thereby reducing fluid buildup and easing strain on the heart. It is particularly beneficial for patients with heart failure following a heart attack. The tablets are usually taken once daily, with or without food, depending on the individual's treatment plan. Consistent use of Eplerenone can lead to improved heart function and reduced risk of hospitalization due to heart failure.Active substance:
