- Finerenone is utilized by individuals with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease to reduce the risk of dialysis, heart disease-related death, heart attacks, and hospitalization for heart failure.
- It operates by blocking aldosterone, a chemical in the body, leading to a reduction in the retention of sodium and water.
