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

• Selective Blockage of Mineralocorticoid Receptor: Eplerenone selectively blocks the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a protein that responds to the hormone aldosterone.

• Regulation of Fluid Balance: Aldosterone usually triggers the body to retain sodium and water while excreting potassium. By blocking this action, eplerenone helps balance fluid levels in the body, reducing fluid overload.

• Lowering Blood Pressure: The regulation of fluid balance by eplerenone leads to lowered blood pressure, which aids in managing hypertension and improving outcomes in patients with heart failure.
