Who can and cannot take eplerenone

Most adults aged 18 years old and over can take eplerenone.

Eplerenone is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell your doctor before starting to take it if you have:

• ever had an allergic reaction to eplerenone or any other medicine
• liver or kidney disease
• type 2 diabetes
• high levels of potassium in your blood (you'll have a blood test before starting eplerenone to check this)
