No, Eplerenone does not cause erectile dysfunction and has no impact on fertility in either males or females.
Eplerenone helps control high blood pressure but does not cure it. While you may not notice symptoms, your blood pressure could show improvement within 2 weeks of starting treatment, with maximum benefits potentially taking 4 weeks or longer.
No, you should not stop taking Eplerenone without your doctor's guidance. It manages blood pressure but does not cure it, and discontinuation may worsen your condition and lead to unwanted side effects.
As a potassium-sparing diuretic, Eplerenone may increase potassium levels by promoting sodium loss while retaining potassium. Your doctor will likely monitor your potassium levels before starting treatment and periodically thereafter, as elevated potassium can be harmful.
Aspirin may interfere with Eplerenone's effectiveness and could lead to increased potassium levels, especially in patients with kidney issues. If both medications are used together, it's important to monitor your blood pressure and potassium levels closely.
Your doctor may have found Losartan insufficient for blood pressure control. Combining Eplerenone with Losartan could raise potassium levels, which is risky; hence, Eplerenone was prescribed with Hydrochlorothiazide to mitigate this risk.
