How it Works
Lyvelsa 20mg Tablet is a nonsteroidal, selective antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). This receptor, usually activated by hormones like aldosterone and cortisol, helps in controlling sodium levels in the body. Lyvelsa 20mg Tablet blocks and prevent this receptor from overactivation, which can damage different parts of the body such as the kidneys, heart, and blood vessels.
