Product Introduction

Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet contains Finerenone, a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) indicated for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults with type 2 diabetes. It functions by blocking aldosterone, a hormone that can cause damage to the heart and kidneys when elevated. This action helps slow the progression of kidney disease and reduces the risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular complications. The active ingredient in Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet is Finerenone. The therapeutic applications include maintaining kidney function, controlling inflammation, and supporting long-term cardiovascular health. Lyvelsa is also available as a 20mg Tablet, which offers comparable therapeutic benefits. Doctors may prescribe Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet 14's as part of short-term or ongoing treatment based on kidney function and clinical response. Possible side effects of Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet include elevated potassium levels, dizziness, fatigue, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Regular monitoring of potassium and kidney function is necessary during treatment. Patients with hyperkalemia, severe kidney dysfunction, or those receiving potassium-sparing diuretics should not use this medicine. The Lyvelsa 20mg Tablet is indicated for similar conditions and is typically prescribed when a higher dose is required.
