Kerendia 20 mg Tablet contains Finerenone (20 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Non-steroidal Selective Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist: Finerenone works by selectively blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor in the body. This receptor plays a key role in maintaining the balance of salt and water in the body. Overactivation of this receptor can lead to fluid retention, inflammation, and fibrosis in the heart and kidneys.
• Management of Chronic Kidney Disease: By blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor, Finerenone helps manage chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. This action reduces kidney inflammation and fibrosis, thus aiding in reducing the risk of kidney failure.
• Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: Finerenone's action also contributes to the reduction of cardiovascular risks in these patients. It helps in decreasing inflammation and fibrosis in the heart, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and hospitalisation for heart failure.

• Store your Kerendia 20 mg Tablet in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light. The best temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius.

• If you're taking Kerendia 20 mg Tablet, it's beneficial to maintain a low-sodium diet; high salt intake can worsen kidney problems.
