Inspra How to Take

Inspra (Eplerenone) belongs to a group of medications called aldosterone antagonists. It is used in combination with other medications to treat heart failure and help prevent worsening heart failure after a Heart Attack, thereby improving the chances of survival.

It is also used along with other medications to treat mild-to-moderate high blood pressure, when other medications are not tolerated or have reduced your blood pressure enough.

Inspra (Eplerenone) works by blocking aldosterone, a substance the body makes that helps control blood pressure. High levels of aldosterone increase blood pressure and may contribute to heart failure. Blocking aldosterone helps prevent heart failure from worsening.

Inspra (Eplerenone) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Inspra (Eplerenone) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here.
