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.
