Frequently asked questions about eplerenone

Medically reviewed by:Jessica Swirble, PharmD

Eplerenone, available under the brand name Inspra, is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of heart failure following a heart attack. It belongs to the drug class known as mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Eplerenone works by blocking the effects of a hormone called aldosterone, which can lead to salt and water retention in the body, contributing to elevated blood pressure and heart-related issues.

Please note that a licensed healthcare provider's prescription is required for this medication.

Eplerenone is primarily prescribed for two main purposes:

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Eplerenone helps lower high blood pressure by reducing excess salt and water retention in the body. It is often used when other antihypertensive medications are not sufficient in controlling blood pressure.

Heart Failure Post-Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Eplerenone is used to reduce the risk of heart failure in patients who have experienced a heart attack and have left ventricular dysfunction.

Eplerenone is classified as a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates salt and water balance in the body. By inhibiting aldosterone's effects, Eplerenone helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water, reducing blood volume and blood pressure. This, in turn, eases the workload on the heart and reduces the risk of heart failure.

While using eplerenone, some individuals may experience side effects, although not everyone will.

Mild side effects may include:

  • Stomach pain
  • Breast pain
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Cough
  • Flu-like symptoms

More severe side effects include:

  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Chest pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Tingling in the arms or legs
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Unusual tiredness
  • Signs of kidney problems (changes in urine output and color)
  • Increased blood potassium levels

It's essential to consult your healthcare provider if you experience any of these side effects or have concerns about taking this medication.

Before starting treatment with eplerenone, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with eplerenone.

Tell your provider if you are taking a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor like ketoconazole, ritonavir, or clarithromycin. The use of eplerenone along with these drugs is not recommended.

Specifically, discuss any history of:

  • Kidney problems
  • Liver problems
  • Diabetes
  • Gout
  • High blood potassium levels
  • Electrolyte imbalances
  • Heart rhythm disorders
  • Allergies to eplerenone or similar medications

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your health care provider before using eplerenone to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended dosage of eplerenone may vary depending on the individual's condition and response to treatment. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and administration instructions.

Eplerenone is typically taken orally in tablet form, with or without food. Follow your health care provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking eplerenone.

Do not discontinue or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your regularly scheduled amount. Do not take a double dose of eplerenone.

Store eplerenone as directed by your health care provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Typically, eplerenone should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.

Keep the medication out of the reach of children and ensure that the container is tightly closed.
