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

• Selective Aldosterone Receptor Blockade: Eplerenone selectively binds to and inhibits mineralocorticoid receptors, particularly those that respond to aldosterone, a hormone that regulates salt and water balance in the body.

• Increased Sodium Excretion: By blocking aldosterone's effects, eplerenone causes increased sodium excretion through urine (a process called natriuresis), which helps reduce fluid retention and lower blood pressure.

• Potassium-Sparing Effect: Unlike other diuretics, eplerenone decreases potassium excretion from the body, helping maintain normal potassium levels while providing blood pressure-lowering benefits.

• Reduced Cardiac Remodelling: In heart failure patients, eplerenone helps reduce harmful changes in heart structure and function (cardiac remodelling) that can occur after a heart attack, improving overall heart health.
