Product Description
Aldactone 100mg Tablets 10 Tablets is a prescription medication containing spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks the effects of aldosterone. It promotes the excretion of sodium and water while retaining potassium, making it effective for conditions involving fluid retention and high aldosterone levels. Commonly used for essential hypertension, edematous conditions (heart failure, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease), primary hyperaldosteronism, and off-label for acne or hirsutism in women due to anti-androgen effects. The film-coated tablets ensure targeted release and are available in smaller packs like 10 tablets for short courses or trials. Benefits • Reduces fluid retention and swelling (edema) in heart, liver, or kidney conditions • Lowers blood pressure in hypertension • Helps diagnose and manage primary hyperaldosteronism • Preserves potassium levels unlike other diuretics • May improve survival and reduce hospitalizations in heart failure • Provides off-label benefits for hormonal acne and hirsutism How to Use • Take orally with or without food; preferably in the morning to avoid nighttime urination • Usual adult dose: 25-200mg daily, divided or single (e.g., 100mg once or twice daily) • Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew • Monitor potassium levels and kidney function regularly • Avoid potassium supplements, salt substitutes, or high-potassium foods • Consult doctor for duration, adjustments, or if pregnant/breastfeeding
