(English name: Inspra) is the first selective aldosterone receptor antagonist. It has been used to treat hypertension and left ventricular dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction. It can effectively lower blood pressure, improve cardiac function, and reduce myocardial damage. The chemical formula of eplerenone is 9,11-epoxy-17-hydroxy-3-oxo-γ-lactone-4-pregnene-7,21-dicarboxylic acid methyl ester.

Eplerenone (Inspra) selectively acts on aldosterone receptors and is highly selective on mineralocorticoid receptors, but has less effect on androgen and progesterone receptors. Its affinity for mineralocorticoids is 15 to 20 times that of spironolactone, while its affinity for androgen and progesterone receptors is 500 times smaller than that of spironolactone, so sex hormone-related adverse reactions are less likely to occur.

It was approved for clinical use by the State Food and Drug Administration in 2002. Is eplerenone included in medical insurance?

Eplerenone has not been officially approved for marketing in my country, so this drug is not available in the country, so it is not covered by medical insurance. We learned that the price of the original drug of eplerenone (Inspra) in the United States is relatively high, 25mg-30 tablets/box, priced at about 118.71 US dollars; 50mg-30 tablets/box, priced at about 124.09/USD. If domestic patients buy the American version of the drug for long-term use, the cost will be relatively high, while the Indian version of eplerenone is much cheaper.

For most patients in the country, the Indian version is a better choice. The Indian version of eplerenone (Inspra) is available in 50mg*100 tablets and costs around $500. Due to the influence of exchange rates and other factors, the price is not fixed. Please consult the medical companion passenger service for specific prices.
