Related Faqs
I had been using Losartan for quite some time and was tolerating it well. Now my doctor has prescribed me Eptus along with Hydrochlorothiazide. I want to know why he just could not add Eptus 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 (Eptus), 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 Eptus with hydrochlorothiazide may have been prescribed.
Does Eptus cause erectile dysfunction?
No, Eptus does not cause erectile dysfunction. Eptus does not have any effect on fertility, in both males and females.
What does Eptus do? Is it a beta blocker or a diuretic?
Eptus 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 Eptus take to work?
Eptus 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 Eptus. However, the medicine may take 4 weeks or longer to show its maximum benefits.
When is the best time to take eplerenone?
You can take eplerenone either with or without food. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you can generally take eplerenone at a time of day you find easy to remember. It is best, however, to try to take the tablets at the same time of day each day, as this will help you to remember to take your doses regularly.
Is there anything I need to be careful about if I am taking aspirin and have now started Eptus?
Aspirin may interfere with the working of Eptus due to which your blood pressure may not get adequately controlled. Aspirin and Eptus 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.
