eplerenone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eplerenone Sandoz contains the active substance eplerenone. Eplerenone belongs to a group of medicines called selective aldosterone antagonists. These antagonists inhibit the effect of aldosterone, a substance that the body produces to regulate blood pressure and heart function. High levels of aldosterone can cause changes in the body that lead to heart failure.

Eplerenone Sandoz is normally given with other medicines for heart failure, e.g. beta-blockers. The usual starting dose is 25 mg once a day,<\/strong> which after about 4 weeks is increased to 50 mg once a day<\/strong> (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, during the first week of treatment, and one month after starting a treatment or after changing the dose. Dose one may need to be adjusted by your doctor, depending on the potassium levels in your blood.<\/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. These doses can be adjusted if your doctor recommends so and based on the levels of potassium in your blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eplerenone Sandoz is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment. The starting dose does not need to be adjusted in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. If you have liver or kidney problems, your blood potassium levels may need to be checked more often (see also \u201cDo not use Eplerenone Sandoz\u201d). Elderly: no dose adjustment is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eplerenone Sandoz is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g. If a child has inadvertently ingested the medicine, contact a doctor, hospital, or the Poison Information Center for risk assessment and advice. If you have taken too much of your medicine, the most likely symptoms will be low blood pressure (may manifest as a “slight” feeling in your head, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, acute unconsciousness) or hyperkalemia, elevated levels of potassium in the blood. (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. Otherwise, take it as soon as you remember, provided it takes more than 12 hours for you to take the next tablet. Then return to your regular medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to continue taking Eplerenone Sandoz as prescribed unless your doctor tells you to stop your treatment. 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.
