built 606 days ago
Inspra is an improved version of spironolactone, which is available as a cheap generic. Both Inspra and spironolactone block aldosterone, a hormone released by the adrenal glands to regulate blood pressure. They are often used alongside angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, such as Accupril, Zestril and Prinivil. Hyperkalemia, an excess of potassium in the body, can occur when the two types of drugs are combined.
