Aldactone - Spironolactone 100 mg Tabs

Spironolactone is a prescription potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist used to treat several conditions, including edema associated with heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disorders, as well as hypertension and certain cases of primary hyperaldosteronism. It works by blocking the effects of the hormone aldosterone in the kidneys, promoting the removal of excess sodium and water while reducing potassium loss. Spironolactone may also be used in certain patients with heart failure to help reduce cardiovascular risks and symptoms. The dosage is individualized according to the condition being treated, kidney function, blood pressure, and response to therapy. Common side effects may include increased urination, dizziness, nausea, and breast tenderness or enlargement. Because spironolactone can increase potassium levels, monitoring of potassium and kidney function may be required during treatment. It should be used according to a qualified healthcare professional's prescription and guidance.
