Epletor Indications

- in addition to standard therapy (including the use of β-adrenoceptor blocking agents) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with stable left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%) and clinical signs of heart failure after myocardial infarction.

- in addition to standard optimal therapy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in adult patients with chronic heart failure (II FC by NYHA) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤30%).

Dosage & Administration

The drug can be used regardless of the meal.
Heart failure after myocardial infarction
Therapy is usually started within 3-14 days after an acute myocardial infarction.
The recommended maintenance dose is 50 mg 1 time per day. Treatment should be initiated at a dose of 25 mg 1 time a day followed by titration of the dose for 4 weeks until the target dose of 50 mg 1 time per day under the control of the level of potassium in the blood plasma, as shown in the table.
Chronic heart failure (II FC by NYHA)
Treatment should be initiated at a dose of 25 mg 1 time per day and titrated to the target dose of 50 mg 1 time a day for 4 weeks, taking into account the level of potassium in the blood plasma
