KERENDIA (Finerenone) - Tabs

KERENDIA, or Finerenone, is an innovative medication designed to help patients manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes. As a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, KERENDIA has been specifically developed to reduce the progression of CKD and decrease the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events in this patient population. By addressing the underlying causes of kidney damage in type 2 diabetes, KERENDIA offers a targeted approach to improving kidney function and overall health outcomes. The effectiveness of KERENDIA lies in its ability to block the action of a hormone called aldosterone, which plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure and maintaining the balance of electrolytes in the body. In patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD, excessive aldosterone can contribute to inflammation and kidney fibrosis, leading to further damage and reduced function. KERENDIA works by inhibiting the mineralocorticoid receptor, thereby reducing the harmful effects of aldosterone on the kidneys and cardiovascular system and ultimately slowing the progression of kidney disease. When taking KERENDIA, following your healthcare provider's instructions for proper dosage and administration is essential to ensure the medication's effectiveness and safety. As with any drug, potential side effects may occur, including hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), hypotension (low blood pressure), or renal impairment. It is essential to discuss any concerns or symptoms with your healthcare provider to address and manage any potential issues as soon as possible. By incorporating KERENDIA into your treatment plan, you can proactively manage chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes and support your overall health and well-being.
