Firendia Tablet contains Finerenone 20 mg, a selective, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist used in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes. It helps slow the progression of kidney damage and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications by blocking harmful effects of aldosterone.
Finerenone provides protective effects on both the heart and kidneys by reducing inflammation and fibrosis, thereby improving long-term clinical outcomes in high-risk patients.
