Uses of Epler 50mg Tablet

Epler 50mg Tablet is used to treat heart failure, particularly after a heart attack or when the heart’s pumping action is weak, and is added to other standard heart failure medicines. It helps reduce the risk of hospital admission and death from heart problems. It may also be used to lower high blood pressure that has not been controlled by other treatment.

How Epler 50mg Tablet works

Eplerenone blocks aldosterone, a hormone that makes the body hold on to salt and water and can cause scarring of the heart muscle. Blocking it reduces fluid build-up and strain on the heart while helping the body keep potassium.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Epler 50mg Tablet are usually mild. The more common ones include:

• Raised potassium level in the blood
• Dizziness
• Low blood pressure
• Diarrhoea or nausea
• Cough

Seek medical help urgently if you have muscle weakness, a slow or irregular heartbeat, or numbness, as these can be signs of high potassium.

Precautions and warnings

• Blood tests to check potassium and kidney function are needed before and during treatment.
• Avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes containing potassium unless your doctor recommends them.
• Tell your doctor about other medicines, especially other potassium-sparing medicines, ACE inhibitors, NSAID painkillers, clarithromycin and some antifungals.

• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use Epler 50mg Tablet only after speaking to your doctor.
