Eplenocard is primarily used to treat heart failure and reduce the risk of heart-related events in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. It is also prescribed for managing high blood pressure, often in combination with other treatments.

Eplenocard should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems or high potassium levels. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor potassium levels and kidney function. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and not to stop the medication abruptly without medical advice.
