For adults with chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes (CKD in T2D)

S is for Staying
on KERENDIA

Why it’s important to
continue taking KERENDIA

Start strong and stick with it

KERENDIA is proven to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) that could lead to kidney failure, dialysis, or kidney transplant.

Starting KERENDIA is a great first step, but staying on treatment is just as important. By taking KERENDIA, you are not only doing more to slow the progression of your CKD in T2D, you are also helping to lower your risk for cardiovascular complications like heart attack, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization for heart failure.

Here are some of the reasons it’s critical to keep taking KERENDIA as prescribed by your doctor:

CKD in T2D is a progressive disease, which means that it gets worse over time and the damage to your kidneys cannot be reversed.

Icon of kidney with warning sign

As CKD gets worse, it may lead to kidney failure, requiring either dialysis or kidney transplant.

Even if you don't have symptoms of CKD, it's important to continue taking your medication as prescribed.

Ask your doctor about the importance of staying on KERENDIA.

CKD in T2D increases the risk for cardiovascular complications like heart attack, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization for heart failure.

What is KERENDIA?

KERENDIA (finerenone) is a prescription medicine used to:

  • reduce the risk of worsening of kidney disease, kidney failure, death due to cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and hospitalization for heart failure in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (10mg, 20mg tablets)
  • reduce the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visits in adults with heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction (HF LVEF) of ≥40%, when the heart may pump normally, but may not fill properly (10mg, 20mg, 40mg tablets)

Important Safety Information

Do not take KERENDIA if you:
  • Are allergic to any of the ingredients in KERENDIA
  • Take certain medications called CYP3A4 inhibitors. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure if you are taking any of these medications
  • Have problems with your adrenal glands
What are the possible side effects of KERENDIA?

KERENDIA may cause serious side effects, including:

  • High potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Your healthcare provider will check your potassium level before and during treatment with KERENDIA
  • Worsening of kidney function for patients with heart failure. Your healthcare provider will measure your kidney function before and during treatment with KERENDIA

The most common side effects of KERENDIA include hyperkalemia (potassium level in your blood that is higher than normal), hypotension (blood pressure that is lower than normal), and hyponatremia (sodium level in your blood that is lower than normal). Worsening of kidney function was also included in patients with heart failure.

Before you take KERENDIA, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
  • Have high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia) or take medications that may increase potassium levels in your blood
  • Have severe liver problems
  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Avoid breastfeeding during treatment with KERENDIA and 1 day after treatment
Tell your healthcare provider about all the prescription and over-the-counter medicines you take, including salt substitutes, vitamins, and herbal or potassium supplements.
  • KERENDIA may affect the way other medications work, and other medications may affect how KERENDIA works. Do not start or stop any medicine before you talk with your healthcare provider. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice as it may increase KERENDIA levels in the blood
