Eptus 25 MG Description

Eptus Tablet is used for the treatment of high blood pressure and also helps to reduce the risk of heart-related complications in adults with chronic heart failure.

This medicine may increase potassium levels in your blood and produces side effects like muscle cramps, diarrhoea, nausea, dizziness and headache. Planep 25mg tablets, Eplehef 25mg tablets, Eplebless 25mg tablets, Epnone 25mg tablets and Exenta 25mg tablets are a few more medicines with the active ingredient eplerenone.
