Okay so first to start from first basic rules:
NOT GPT MADE BTW
Do NOT take Eplerenone if you have these
You are allergic (hypersensitive) to eplerenone or any of the other ingredients of INSPRA
Your blood potassium level is high. Your doctor will perform a blood test to measure your potassium level
You have severe kidney failure
You have severe liver failure
You are taking medications that help you excrete excess body fluid (potassium-sparing diuretics)
You are taking medications for fungal infections, e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole
You are taking medications for bacterial infections, e.g., clarithromycin, telithromycin
You are taking medications for depression, e.g., nefazodone
You are taking medications for HIV (AIDS), e.g., ritonavir, nelfinavir
You are taking both types of medications used to treat heart problems or high blood pressure:
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs),
e.g., irbesartan, lisinopril
How to use Eplerenone:
You can take it before or after eating doesnt matter. Make sure you drink a lot of water with it
Eplerenone contains lactose. If your doctor has told you that you are intolerant to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product.
Use in children:
The safety and effectiveness of eplerenone in children and adolescents have not been established; therefore, its use is not recommended in this age group
Use in the elderly:
As the use of eplerenone may be associated with a higher frequency of side effects in this age group, it should be used with caution in elderly patients
Eplerenone is usually used together with other treatments for heart failure (such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers). Treatment generally starts with a dose of 25 mg once daily (for example, one 25 mg tablet or half of a 50 mg tablet). The maximum dose is 50 mg per day.
Before starting Eplerenone treatment, during the first week, and one month after starting treatment or after any dose change, your blood potassium levels should be measured and the dose should be adjusted by your doctor based on these levels.
Stop using Eplerenone immediately and contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency department if you experience any of the following:
Swelling of the face, tongue, or throat
Difficulty swallowing
Hives (urticaria) and trouble breathing
These are all very serious side effects.
If you experience any of them, it means you may have a severe allergic reaction to Eplerenone
You may need urgent medical attention or hospitalization.
These are signs of angioedema, and they are not common side effects.
Side Affects that Often Can Be Seen Using Eplerenone:
Elevated blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia) (symptoms may include muscle cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, or headache)
High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia)
Fainting
Dizziness
Difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
Headache
Heart problems, e.g., irregular heartbeat and heart failure
Cough
Constipation
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
Diarrhea
Nausea
Vomiting
Abnormal kidney function
Rash
Itching
Back pain
Fatigue
Muscle spasms
Side Affects That RARELY Happens
Infection
Increase in the number of eosinophils (a type of allergy-related white blood cell) in the blood (eosinophilia)
Decrease in blood sodium levels (hyponatremia)
Dehydration
High triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia)
Rapid heartbeat
Inflammation of the gallbladder
Drop in blood pressure when standing up from a sitting or lying position (postural hypotension)
Blood clot in the leg (thrombosis)
Sore throat (pharyngitis)
Bloating
Low thyroid function
Increase in blood sugar levels
Decreased sense of touch
Increased sweating
Musculoskeletal pain
General feeling of being unwell
Kidney inflammation
Breast enlargement in men
Changes in certain blood test results
If any of these side effects become serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please inform your doctor or pharmacist.
