Kerendia

How is this medication used?

Kerendia is taken orally, usually once per day, with or without food. The dosage may vary based on the patient's kidney function, blood potassium levels, and other factors. It is important to follow the prescribing doctor's instructions closely and not to adjust the dose or frequency without consultation.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Kerendia include hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood), hypotension (low blood pressure), and impaired kidney function. Patients may also experience dizziness, fatigue, and dehydration. Because of the risk of hyperkalemia, it is important for patients to have their potassium levels monitored regularly while taking this medication.

What are the potential interactions?

Kerendia can interact with other medications, which may increase the risk of serious side effects. It should be used with caution when taken with drugs that raise potassium levels, such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium supplements. Also, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce the effectiveness of Kerendia and worsen kidney function. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are taking.
