My blood pressure is now controlled, still the doctor has asked me to continue the treatment. Can I stop Eplebless 25 Tablet?
No, you should not stop Eplebless 25 Tablet. If your doctor has advised you to continue treatment, keep taking it. Eplebless 25 Tablet does not cure blood pressure, but keeps the blood pressure in control. Therefore, keep taking the medicine even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it may make your condition worse and you may have unwanted side effects.
Eplebless 25 Tablet is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Does this mean that I will have more potassium in my body? Will it be beneficial for me?
Potassium-sparing diuretic are those medicines which increase the urination without causing any loss in potassium levels. Eplebless 25 Tablet allows sodium loss by body in exchange for potassium which is retained. It may result in an increase in the levels of potassium. Therefore, your doctor may monitor your potassium levels continuously. You may need to get it measured before starting Eplebless 25 Tablet, within the first week and one month after the start of treatment or after a change in dose. Potassium levels above normal range are not good for you or anyone.
Does Eplebless 25 Tablet have any effect on the blood sugar levels?
Although it is not very common, but Eplebless 25 Tablet may increase your blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is important that you keep a regular check on your blood sugar levels if you are a diabetic. The use of Eplebless 25 Tablet should be avoided in patients who have type 2 diabetes along with some kidney problem in which the patient loses protein (albumin) in very small quantities in urine.
I had been using Losartan for quite some time and was tolerating it well. Now my doctor has prescribed me Eplebless 25 Tablet along with Hydrochlorothiazide. I want to know why he just could not add Eplebless 25 Tablet 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 (Eplebless 25 Tablet), 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 Eplebless 25 Tablet with hydrochlorothiazide may have been prescribed.
Is there anything I need to be careful about if I am taking aspirin and have now started Eplebless 25 Tablet?
Aspirin may interfere with the working of Eplebless 25 Tablet due to which your blood pressure may not get adequately controlled. Aspirin and Eplebless 25 Tablet 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.
