A member asked:
Is eplerenone as effective as spironolactone in male ascites patients alongside furosemide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it should with less side effect compared with spironolactone but it is more expensive. Do not forget the key diet for ascites treatment is limited fluid and salt intake. Good luck.
