About Eptus-T 10 Kit

Eptus-T 10 Kit is used to remove excess water from the body. It also maintains the bloodstream's potassium level and prevents hypertension (high blood pressure) due to Oedema (fluid retention). Oedema or fluid overload is associated with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lung) or heart failure (irregular heart pumping). Leg swelling is the main characteristic of Oedema, accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia) and swelling in other areas of the hands or abdomen.

Eptus-T 10 Kit is a combination of medications containing Eplerenone and Torsemide, which are prescribed for the treatment of resistant Oedema (fluid overload) associated with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), heart failure and hepatic cirrhosis (chronic liver damage). Eptus-T 10 Kit works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it also helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of any future heart attack, stroke or angina (chest pain).

Take Eptus-T 10 Kit as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Eptus-T 10 Kit for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. In some cases, you may experience dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (calcium, magnesium, and sodium), constipation, increased uric acid and itching. Most of these side effects of Eptus-T 10 Kit do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Try not to stop taking Eptus-T 10 Kit of your own, as doing so may raise your blood pressure, thereby increasing the risk of getting a heart attack and stroke. Inform your doctor if you suffer from any kidney, liver or heart disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Eptus-T 10 Kit can be prescribed accordingly. Please tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines or are allergic to Eptus-T 10 Kit. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling.
