依普利酮吃多久起效？

(eplerenone, Inspra) is a very effective drug in the treatment of hypertension. Eplerenone (eplerenone) is a new type of selective aldosterone receptor antagonist. Its antagonism to aldosterone is significantly better than that of spironolactone. It has extremely low affinity for androgen and progesterone receptors and has few adverse reactions. Eplerenone plays an active and effective role in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure and myocardial infarction. It is safer and is a good alternative to spironolactone.

Recommended doses of eplerenone for the treatment of congestive heart failure are as follows:

Adult patients: Initial dose of eplerenone: 25 mg, orally, once a day; gradually increase to target dose (50 mg, orally, once a day) within 4 weeks as tolerated by the patient.

   For adult patients with hypertension, eplerenone can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. Initial dose: 50 mg, oral, once daily; Maintenance dose: 50 mg, oral, 1-2 times daily; Maximum dose: 100 mg/day.

How long does it take for eplerenone to take effect?

Patients with hypertension usually experience significant blood pressure-lowering effects within four weeks of taking eplerenone. Patients whose blood pressure responds inadequately to the initial dose may be increased to 50 mg twice daily. Since each patient's condition and personal constitution are different, the effective time after taking this drug will be different for each patient. This is determined by the patient's condition and personal constitution.

Taking eplerenone for treatment will also produce certain side effects or adverse reactions, including: hyperkalemia/hypertriglyceridemia/dizziness/fatigue/hyponatremia/proteinuria/hypercholesterolemia/abdominal pain/increased serum creatinine/cough/angioedema/increased liver enzymes/rash, etc. Therefore, patients must go to the hospital for detailed examination before receiving this drug for treatment, and use the drug strictly according to the doctor's diagnosis and treatment recommendations. 

The above is the introduction about (eplerenone), I hope it can help everyone. If patients have other questions about the drug (such as drug price, purchasing channels, etc.), they can consult the medical companion travel service.
