Eplerenone tablets (Inspra) - selected U.S. label sections
- Product / population
- INSPRA oral tablets. Do not apply hypertension-only exclusions indiscriminately to other labeled indications.
- Renal measure
- Creatinine clearance in mL/min; indication-specific contraindications.
Selected renal sections only, not a complete monograph. Exact product, indication, patient population, renal method and all other contraindications/interactions remain controlling.
Second independent renal reference and clinician adjudication remain pending; no all-indication, dialysis or pediatric dose may be inferred from an omitted field.
Renal contraindications
For all patients, CrCl at or below 30 mL/min is a contraindication. For treatment of hypertension, additional exclusions include CrCl below 50 mL/min, serum creatinine above 2.0 mg/dL in males or 1.8 mg/dL in females, and type 2 diabetes with microalbuminuria.
Potassium and interactions
Starting potassium above 5.5 mEq/L and strong CYP3A inhibitors are contraindications. Impaired renal function increases hyperkalemia risk; use the full indication-specific potassium monitoring and dose-modification instructions. A smaller dose does not override a contraindication.
