About Eplehef 50 Tablet

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. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and the heart's workload, making it more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it also helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of any future heart attack, stroke, or angina (chest pain) in the future.

Take Eplehef 50 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Depending upon your medical condition, you are advised to take Eplehef 50 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (calcium, magnesium, and sodium), constipation, itching, and increased uric acid. Most of these side effects of Eplehef 50 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking a Eplehef 50 Tablet of your own, as doing so may raise your blood pressure, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Inform your doctor if you have any kidney disease (with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min), liver disease, high serum potassium (hyperkalemia), diabetes mellitus type 2, and patients with nil urine output (anuria). If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Eplehef 50 Tablet can be prescribed accordingly. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to the Eplehef 50 Tablet . Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Please take Eplehef 50 Tablet at least 4 hours before sleeping to avoid frequent urination at night. Also, do not take Eplehef 50 Tablet along with lithium to prevent serious side effects.
