How long does it take to take Finerenone to reduce urinary protein?

Finerenone (Finerenone) is a drug that treats diabetes-related kidney disease and can reduce the problem of protein in the urine (proteinuria) to a certain extent. However, the duration of action of the drug varies from person to person and depends on factors such as the patient's disease status, individual differences, and treatment regimen.

If the problem of urinary protein is more serious, it may take longer to observe the effect of fenelidone on lowering urinary protein. Treatment duration may vary depending on the initial level of urinary protein and the progression of the disease.

Different patients may respond differently to fenelidone. Some people may see noticeable results within a short period of time, while others may take longer.

The doctor will develop an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's condition, including dosage and medication time. Dose adjustments and ongoing monitoring may affect the drug's proteinuria-lowering effect.

In general, it may take weeks to months for fenelidone to show its proteinuria-lowering effect in some patients. However, please note that the duration of action of the drug varies from person to person and the therapeutic effects may appear gradually over a period of use. If you are taking fenelidone and are concerned about proteinuria, it is recommended that you maintain regular communication and follow-up visits with your doctor so that you can monitor the effects of the medication and make adjustments as needed.

For specific prices and prices after medical insurance reimbursement, please consult the local hospital pharmacy. Overseas, the main Japanese original drug is fenelidone, with a specification of 10mg*100 tablets of about more than 2,000 yuan, and it is the same as the domestic original drug.
