Description:
Epliron (50mg) contains Eplerenone, a selective aldosterone receptor antagonist used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure, particularly after a heart attack.
It works by blocking aldosterone, a hormone that causes the body to retain salt and water, helping to lower blood pressure, reduce fluid retention, and decrease stress on the heart.
