aldosterone

What are the Pharmacological Interventions?

Several medications can influence aldosterone levels and actions:
- Aldosterone Antagonists: Drugs like spironolactone and eplerenone block the action of aldosterone at the receptor level, used in conditions like heart failure and hypertension.
- ACE Inhibitors and ARBs: These medications inhibit the RAAS, subsequently reducing aldosterone secretion.
- Potassium Supplements: In cases of hypokalemia induced by hyperaldosteronism, potassium supplements might be necessary.
