The usual starting dose is 25 mg once a day, which after about 4 weeks is increased to 50 mg once a day (either as a 50 mg tablet or two 25 mg tablets). The maximum dosage is 50 mg daily. Potassium levels in the blood should be checked before treatment with Eplerenone Bluefish, during the first week of treatment, and one month after starting a treatment or changing the dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose one may need to be adjusted by your doctor, depending on the potassium levels in your blood. Patients with renal or hepatic impairment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have mild renal impairment, you should start with a 25 mg tablet every day. And if you have moderate renal impairment, you should start with a 25 mg tablet every other day.

(may manifest as muscle cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, or headache).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it is soon time for your next dose, skip the missed tablet and take the next one as usual.

Then return to your regular medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to continue taking Eplerenone Bluefish as prescribed unless your doctor tells you to stop your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
