FAQs:

What does Eptirone 25mg Tablet do? Is it a beta blocker or a diuretic?

Eptirone 25mg Tablet is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It is prescribed with other medicines to control increased blood pressure and to treat heart failure in patients who have had a heart attack. It is not a beta blocker but mineralocorticoid receptor blocker.

How long does Eptirone 25mg Tablet take to work?

Eptirone 25mg Tablet controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. You may not see any improvement because high blood pressure does not have any symptoms. But, if you get your blood pressure checked, you may notice a change within 2 weeks of starting Eptirone 25mg Tablet. However, the medicine may take 4 weeks or longer to show its maximum benefits.

Does Eptirone 25mg Tablet cause erectile dysfunction?

My blood pressure is now controlled, still the doctor has asked me to continue the treatment. Can I stop Eptirone 25mg Tablet?

No, you should not stop Eptirone 25mg Tablet. If your doctor has advised you to continue treatment, keep taking it. Eptirone 25mg Tablet does not cure blood pressure, but keeps the blood pressure in control. Therefore, keep taking the medicine even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it may make your condition worse and you may have unwanted side effects.

Eptirone 25mg Tablet is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Does this mean that I will have more potassium in my body? Will it be beneficial for me?

Potassium-sparing diuretic are those medicines which increase the urination without causing any loss in potassium levels. Eptirone 25mg Tablet allows sodium loss by body in exchange for potassium which is retained. It may result in an increase in the levels of potassium. Therefore, your doctor may monitor your potassium levels continuously. You may need to get it measured before starting Eptirone 25mg Tablet, within the first week and one month after the start of treatment or after a change in dose. Potassium levels above normal range are not good for you or anyone.

I had been using Losartan for quite some time and was tolerating it well. Now my doctor has prescribed me Eptirone 25mg Tablet along with Hydrochlorothiazide. I want to know why he just could not add Eptirone 25mg Tablet with Losartan?

It could be possible that Losartan was not able to control your blood pressure adequately. Therefore, your doctor may have suggested an alternative medicine for blood pressure control (Eptirone 25mg Tablet), but Eplerenone when taken with Losartan can enhance the chances of raised potassium levels which could be harmful for you. To prevent this rise in potassium levels, the combination of Eptirone 25mg Tablet with hydrochlorothiazide may have been prescribed.

Is there anything I need to be careful about if I am taking aspirin and have now started Eptirone 25mg Tablet?

Aspirin may interfere with the working of Eptirone 25mg Tablet due to which your blood pressure may not get adequately controlled. Aspirin and Eptirone 25mg Tablet may increase the chances of rise in potassium levels in patients with kidney problems. Therefore, if both are to be used together, keep monitoring your blood pressure and potassium levels.
