Eplehef 50 Tablet belongs to a class of medicine called 'diuretics' (water pills) primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It also maintains the bloodstream's potassium level, removes excess water from the body, and prevents hypertension (high blood pressure) due to oedema (fluid retention). Blood pressure measures the force our heart uses to pump blood to all body parts. Hypertension is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart.

Eplehef 50 Tablet contains Eplerenone, which is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension. Eplehef 50 Tablet works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys.
