LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S

How LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S Works

• LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists. Mineralocorticoid receptors, found in various tissues throughout the body, play a critical role in regulating sodium and water balance, blood pressure, and inflammation.
• These receptors are typically activated by hormones like aldosterone and cortisol. Aldosterone, in particular, is essential for maintaining proper sodium levels in the body by promoting sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. However, excessive activation of the MR, especially in conditions like chronic kidney disease and heart failure, can lead to detrimental effects.
• LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S works by selectively blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor. By preventing overactivation of this receptor, LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S helps to reduce the harmful consequences associated with excessive MR signaling. This includes protecting the kidneys, heart, and blood vessels from damage. The selective nature of LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S means it primarily targets the MR, minimizing potential side effects on other hormonal systems.
• In essence, LYVELSA 20MG TABLET 14'S acts as a modulator, ensuring that the mineralocorticoid receptor functions within a healthy range, preventing the overstimulation that can contribute to disease progression. This mechanism of action makes it a valuable therapeutic option for individuals at risk of, or suffering from, kidney and cardiovascular complications related to MR overactivation.
