 How It Works

• Exenta 25mg Tablet only blocks aldosterone receptors in the kidneys, heart, and blood vessels.
• Aldosterone is a hormone that makes the body hold onto salt and water, which raises blood pressure and causes too much fluid to build up.
• Exenta 25mg Tablet works by limiting aldosterone's effects, which helps the body get rid of sodium and water while keeping potassium. This lowers blood pressure, reduces fluid retention, and makes the heart's job easier.

Medicine Interaction

• Without medical advice, don't mix with the following:
• Potassium-sparing diuretics (such Spironolactone and Amiloride) can raise potassium levels.
• ACE inhibitors and ARBs (such Lisinopril and Losartan) may make potassium levels and renal strain worse.
• NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Diclofenac) may make the drug less effective and damage kidney function.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors like Ketoconazole, Clarithromycin, and Ritonavir raise the levels of Eplerenone in the blood.
• Lithium: Could make lithium more harmful.
• Don't take potassium supplements or salt substitutes because they can cause hyperkalemia.
• Always tell your doctor about all the additional drugs you use, even those that are available without a prescription.

 How to Use

• Dose: Usually 25 mg once a day, however it can be raised to 50 mg once a day if needed.
• Take it at the same time every day, with or without food.
• Do not crush or chew; just swallow the whole thing with a glass of water.
• If you forget to take a dose, do it as soon as you recall, unless it's almost time for the next one.
• If you miss a dose, don't double it to make up for it.
• Keep it in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
