Spironolactone 50mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Spironolactone 50mg is a potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist used for conditions for spironolactone treatment, including heart failure, resistant hypertension, edema related to liver disease or nephrotic syndrome, primary hyperaldosteronism, and selected hormonal indications such as acne or hirsutism under clinician guidance. It blocks aldosterone receptors, helping the body remove sodium and water while retaining potassium.

How to use

Take Spironolactone 50mg as prescribed. Follow potassium and kidney-function monitoring. Avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless the prescriber specifically approves them.

How it works

Spironolactone blocks aldosterone receptors, increasing sodium and water excretion while conserving potassium.

Common side effects

Possible effects include increased urination, dizziness, low blood pressure, nausea, diarrhea, breast tenderness/enlargement, menstrual changes, and fatigue. Serious concerns include high potassium, kidney worsening, severe dehydration, GI bleeding, liver problems, and allergic reaction.
