Eplecard 25 Mg Tablet 10

EPLECARD 25 MG Tablet 10 is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure. As a potassium-sparing diuretic, it blocks aldosterone, a hormone that increases fluid retention and blood pressure.

EPLECARD 25 MG Tablet 10 contains eplerenone (25 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Blocks Mineralocorticoid Receptors: Eplerenone selectively blocks receptors for a hormone called aldosterone in your kidneys and blood vessels. This blocking action prevents aldosterone from causing harmful effects on your heart and blood pressure.

• Reduces Sodium and Water Retention: By blocking aldosterone's effects, eplerenone helps your body get rid of excess sodium and water through urine. This reduction in fluid volume helps lower your blood pressure.

• Preserves Potassium: Unlike some other diuretics (water pills), eplerenone helps your body retain potassium rather than lose it. This is why it's called a "potassium-sparing" diuretic.

• Decreases Heart Workload: By reducing fluid volume and blood pressure, eplerenone decreases the strain on your heart, which is especially beneficial after a heart attack.

• Reduce your salt intake, as high sodium consumption can worsen high blood pressure and put extra strain on your heart. Try using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavour your food.

• Consider following the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), which emphasises fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products to help manage blood pressure naturally.
