Introduction to Kerendia 20mg Tablet

Kerendia 20mg Tablet is a medication containing an active component called Finerenone. It falls under the category of nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). Its purpose is to address conditions associated with imbalanced levels of mineralocorticoid hormones, specifically aldosterone, within the body. The primary usage of this medication is for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It aids in lowering the likelihood of kidney disease advancement and also mitigates the risk of cardiovascular incidents, such as heart failure, in these patients.

Kerendia 20mg Tablet should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug or its components. It can increase the potassium levels in the blood. It should be used cautiously or avoided in patients with hyperkalemia or those already taking medications that can increase potassium levels (such as potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements). This medication can affect the balance of electrolytes in the body. Monitoring potassium, sodium, and other electrolyte levels may be necessary during treatment. Kerendia 20mg Tablet may affect blood glucose levels, especially in patients with diabetes. If a person is undergoing surgery, it is important to inform the healthcare team about using Kerendia 20mg Tablet, as it may need to be temporarily discontinued before the procedure.

Therapeutic Effects of Kerendia 20mg Tablet

Kerendia 20mg is a selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) that blocks the effects of aldosterone, a hormone involved in fluid balance and blood pressure regulation. Inhibiting mineralocorticoid receptors reduces sodium and water retention, prevents potassium excretion, and provides therapeutic benefits in chronic kidney disease, including slowing disease progression, reducing cardiovascular risk, and controlling blood pressure.
