Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Kerendia (finerenone) is used to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and decrease the risk of heart attack, cardiovascular death, and heart failure hospitalization in adults who have type 2 diabetes.

Kerendia comes in oral tablet strengths of 10 mg and 20 mg.
The instructions that come with your Kerendia prescription should be followed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any questions or concerns you may have about the medication.
Before starting on Kerendia, your doctor will evaluate your kidney function and blood potassium levels to determine the right starting dose for you. The general starting dose is 10 mg or 20 mg by mouth one time a day with or without food. After 4 weeks of treatment, your doctor may evaluate your kidney function and blood potassium levels and decide to increase your dose to 20 mg one time a day if appropriate.
The active ingredient in Kerendia is finerenone, a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.
Avoid taking Kerendia with other CYP3A4 inhibitors. If you are unsure whether or not you are taking other CYP3A4 inhibitors, ask your doctor.
Avoid taking Kerendia if you have a condition in which your adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones.
Elevated potassium levels in the blood, low blood pressure, and low sodium levels are the most common side effects of Kerendia. However, other side effects can occur with the use of Kerendia. Immediately tell your doctor if your side effects trouble you or won't go away.
