It is used to help prevent progression in chronic kidney disease patients.

GoodRX prescriptions appear to be around $600 a month.

I would think there are known, healthy options to reduce cardio issues I would encourage, before something like this. There is no end to the items one would need to take to prevent various unknown maladies for the future, when we aren't showing symptoms.

Just eat, sleep, and exercise in healthier ways, supplementing what is practical and doesn't cause problems with other things you are also taking.

I joked with a relative who had a serious injury that we should have him constantly wrapped in bubble-wrap for the rest of his life. That would be helpful—but not practical, nor socially acceptable.

I was in the hospital for two days with heart failure a few years ago. I would not have been there if our $#%#$% governor had not closed the gyms because of covid. At the time I was doing a 14-minute mile on the treadmill five days a week. Exercise keeps your heart strong.

Take one prescription drug daily, lisinopril for heart failure, plus a dozen nutritional supplements. Saw my doctor last week and asked if I should have a cardiologist. He said I don’t need one. I’m trying to walk 30 minutes a day now, just building up to it. My vision Is so awful, I can’t drive anymore, so can’t get to the gym.
