Kerendia (Finerenone)

Kerendia (Finerenone) is a non-steroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. It is primarily prescribed for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). By targeting the harmful effects of mineralocorticoid receptor overactivation, Kerendia helps to reduce the progression of CKD and the risk of cardiovascular events in these patients.

Before you buy Kerendia, it is important that you talk to your healthcare provider about effectiveness, potential side effects and Kerendia cost.

What is chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is when the kidneys slowly stop working over the time. The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering excess fluids, waste products, and toxins from the blood. When the kidneys are damaged or deteriorate over time, they cannot perform these functions effectively, leading to the accumulation of waste products in the body.

Directions

Take Kerendia medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water with or without food, without crushing, chewing, or splitting the tablet.

If you forget a dose, take it when you recall, but never take two doses together.

Regularly consult with your healthcare provider to monitor your kidney function and potassium levels.
