Safely Buy Inspra (Eplerenone) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Description

What Is Inspra Used For 

Eplerenone is the active ingredient of Inspra; it is a potassium-sparing diuretic that selectively blocks the action of aldosterone to lower high blood pressure (hypertension). This medication is used to treat high blood pressure to reduce the risk of damage to the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, preventing stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.  

Inspra medication is also prescribed to treat congestive heart failure following a heart attack. Eplerenone blocks the activity of aldosterone, which increases water and sodium retention; this action helps the kidney remove extra salt and fluids to lower blood pressure and reduce fluid around the heart.  This medicine can be used alone or be prescribed with other antihypertension medication. Before taking this medicine, disclose your medical history to your doctor, especially kidney disease, diabetes, liver disease, and high cholesterol, or triglycerides.
