Fincor Tablet contains Finerenone 10 mg, a novel, selective, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) used for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Finerenone works by blocking harmful effects of aldosterone on the heart and kidneys, reducing inflammation and fibrosis, and slowing the progression of kidney damage. Fincor helps improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes, making it a critical therapy for patients at risk of kidney and heart complications.
