What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

INSPRA (eplerenone) can be prescribed to treat two different heart conditions. INSPRA lowers blood pressure, so it can treat hypertension. It also reduces the amount of pressure in the heart and is useful for treating congestive heart failure (CHF).

Hypertension is a chronic condition where the blood pressure is too high. The symptoms often go unnoticed, but high pressure causes damage to different organs over time.

Heart failure is also a chronic condition where the heart muscle cannot pump blood as effectively as it should. People with heart failure have fluid that backs up into their body (edema) or into their lungs.

Directions

The INSPRA (eplerenone) dose may be different depending on the condition being treated. Take it exactly as prescribed by the doctor.

For hypertension, the starting dose is 50 mg by mouth once daily. The dose may be increased to a maximum of 50 mg twice daily.

For heart failure, the starting dose is 25 mg by mouth once daily. The dose may be increased to a maximum of 50 mg once daily after at least four weeks.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in INPRA is eplerenone.

Interactions

Tell your doctor or pharmacist your entire medication list so they can screen for drug interactions. The most common interactions may include:

  • ACE inhibitors
  • Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
  • Erythromycin
  • Fluconazole
  • Lithium
  • NSAIDs
  • Saquinavir

Cautions

INSPRA may cause high blood potassium, especially when used with other diuretics or blood pressure medications. Your doctor will check your potassium when starting the medication. They should also check it periodically while taking INSPRA.

  • Coughing
  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Flu-like symptoms
