Information
INSPRA, generically known as eplerenone, is a medication primarily used in the management of heart failure and high blood pressure. It belongs to a class of drugs known as aldosterone antagonists, which work by blocking the actions of the hormone aldosterone in the body. Aldosterone can cause salt and water retention, leading to increased blood pressure and exacerbating heart failure conditions. By inhibiting aldosterone, INSPRA helps in reducing blood pressure, preventing the retention of salt and water, and thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with heart failure. It is often prescribed alongside other medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for heart conditions. Due to its mechanism of action, INSPRA can also help in reducing the risk of hospitalization and mortality in patients with certain types of heart failure.
