Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet

Product Overview
Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet is prescribed for adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) related to type 2 diabetes. It helps protect the kidneys from further damage and lowers the risk of heart complications such as heart attack and heart failure by blocking certain hormones in the body.

Usage Instructions
This medicine can be taken with or without food. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose and duration. During treatment, your doctor may monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, kidney function (eGFR), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and potassium levels until your condition stabilizes. Continue taking all other medications as prescribed for your long-term treatment.

Possible Side Effects
Some patients may experience high potassium levels, low blood pressure, or reduced sodium in the body. If any of these occur, consult your doctor, who may adjust the dosage or suggest an alternative treatment.

Precautions
Lyvelsa 10mg Tablet may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver conditions, or if you are taking other medicines. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication.
