FAQ's on Ezuric 50mg Tablet

Does Ezuric cause erectile dysfunction?

No, Ezuric does not cause erectile dysfunction. Ezuric does not have any effect on fertility, in both males and females.

How long does Ezuric take to work?

Ezuric controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. You may not see any improvement because high blood pressure does not have any symptoms. But, if you get your blood pressure checked, you may notice a change within 2 weeks of starting Ezuric. However, the medicine may take 4 weeks or longer to show its maximum benefits.

What does Ezuric do? Is it a beta blocker or a diuretic?

Ezuric is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It is prescribed with other medicines to control increased blood pressure and to treat heart failure in patients who have had a heart attack. It is not a beta blocker but mineralocorticoid receptor blocker.

Is there anything I need to be careful about if I am taking aspirin and have now started Ezuric?

Aspirin may interfere with the working of Ezuric due to which your blood pressure may not get adequately controlled. Aspirin and Ezuric may increase the chances of rise in potassium levels in patients with kidney problems. Therefore, if both are to be used together, keep monitoring your blood pressure and potassium levels.

Does Ezuric have any effect on the blood sugar levels?

Although it is not very common, but Ezuric may increase your blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is important that you keep a regular check on your blood sugar levels if you are a diabetic. The use of Ezuric should be avoided in patients who have type 2 diabetes along with some kidney problem in which the patient loses protein (albumin) in very small quantities in urine.

I had been using Losartan for quite some time and was tolerating it well. Now my doctor has prescribed me Ezuric along with Hydrochlorothiazide. I want to know why he just could not add Ezuric with Losartan?

It could be possible that Losartan was not able to control your blood pressure adequately. Therefore, your doctor may have suggested an alternative medicine for blood pressure control (Ezuric), but Eplerenone when taken with Losartan can enhance the chances of raised potassium levels which could be harmful for you. To prevent this rise in potassium levels, the combination of Ezuric with hydrochlorothiazide may have been prescribed.

My blood pressure is now controlled, still the doctor has asked me to continue the treatment. Can I stop Ezuric?

No, you should not stop Ezuric. If your doctor has advised you to continue treatment, keep taking it. Ezuric does not cure blood pressure, but keeps the blood pressure in control. Therefore, keep taking the medicine even if your blood pressure is controlled. Stopping it may make your condition worse and you may have unwanted side effects.

Ezuric is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Does this mean that I will have more potassium in my body? Will it be beneficial for me?

Potassium-sparing diuretic are those medicines which increase the urination without causing any loss in potassium levels. Ezuric allows sodium loss by body in exchange for potassium which is retained. It may result in an increase in the levels of potassium. Therefore, your doctor may monitor your potassium levels continuously. You may need to get it measured before starting Ezuric, within the first week and one month after the start of treatment or after a change in dose. Potassium levels above normal range are not good for you or anyone.
