A member asked:

What is inspra (eplerenone)? what is it prescribed for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interesting Med: Inspra (Eplerenone) is a medication used for hypertension but it is also effective in patients with heart failure after a heart attack. It is in a class of medications that blocks aldosterone, a mediator of sodium reabsorption into the body. Inspra does have side-effects and interacts with some medications so be sure to discuss this with your doctor if you are considering this medication.
