Bepsar 25mg Tablets – 20 Tablets | Eplerenone | Potassium-Sparing Diuretic for Heart Failure & Hypertension

Description

Bepsar (25mg) Tablets contain Eplerenone, a selective aldosterone antagonist used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a natural substance that causes salt and fluid retention in the body.
By reducing excess fluid and sodium levels, Bepsar helps lower blood pressure, relieve strain on the heart, and prevent complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
