Firendia Tablet contains Finerenone 10 mg, a selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. It is used to reduce the risk of kidney disease progression and cardiovascular complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in those with type 2 diabetes.
Finerenone helps protect the heart and kidneys by blocking harmful effects of excess aldosterone, thereby reducing inflammation and fibrosis in these organs.
