So, Finerenone is this special medicine that helps with kidney problems in people who have diabetes type 2. It’s not like the strong stuff, just a different kind that targets a certain thing in the body. It’s supposed to help cut down on the scar tissue and swelling that comes with kidney disease.
You get these tablets that are covered with a film, and they come in two strengths, 10 mg and 20 mg. For grown-ups, they usually say to take 20 mg of this stuff every day. These come in bottles, and each bottle has about 30 tablets.
It works by blocking something in the body, kind of like a lock and key, to stop certain hormones from being made. These hormones can lead to fluid build-up, high blood pressure, and more kidney issues. It’s best to take this stuff with a doc’s okay, because what works for one person might not be just right for another, and it depends on how their kidneys are doing.
There can be some side effects, like blood pressure going too low or low levels of something called albumin, so you gotta keep an eye on those. This med can actually change how kidney disease gets worse over time by changing how the body handles inflammation.
