6β-hydroxy Eplerenone is a major metabolite of the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist eplerenone . It is formed from eplerenone by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4.
A metabolite of Eplerenone, which is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Eplerenone is in a class of medications called mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a natural substance in the body that raises blood pressure.
6-B-HYDROXY EPLERENONE is a metabolite of Eplerenone, which is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. 6-B-HYDROXY EPLERENONE is in a class of medications called mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a natural substance in the body that raises blood pressure.
