• Less fluid overload and strain on the heart.
• This leads to lower blood pressure, better cardiac function, and a lower chance of heart failure getting worse.

Medicine Interaction

• Stay away from or be careful with:
• Potassium-sparing diuretics (such Spironolactone and Amiloride) can cause hyperkalemia.
• ACE inhibitors and ARBs, such Lisinopril and Losartan, can raise potassium levels and cause kidney problems.
• NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen and Diclofenac) lower kidney function and have an antihypertensive effect.
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as Ketoconazole, Clarithromycin, and Ritonavir, raised the levels of Eplerenone in the blood.
• Lithium — higher chance of toxicity.
• Taking potassium supplements or salt alternatives might make potassium levels dangerously high.
• Tell your doctor about all the other medicines you use, even those that are available without a prescription.
