Minimize Mishaps With Aldosterone Antagonists

You may start to see more Rxs for the aldosterone antagonists spironolactone, eplerenone, or finerenone.

These meds are already used for many conditions...such as treating heart failure, high blood pressure, and edema or swelling.

Now recent guidelines advise screening more patients for primary aldosteronism...when adrenal glands make too much aldosterone. This can cause kidney damage or heart disease if untreated.
