Aldactone (spironolactone) is a prescription potassium-sparing diuretic used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and fluid retention.
Aldactone is a brand name for spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic medication marketed by Pfizer. It is widely prescribed to treat conditions such as high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and hypokalemia (low potassium levels). It works by blocking the actions of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates the balance of salt and water in the body, thereby preventing the body from absorbing too much salt and retaining fluid.
In addition to cardiovascular applications, Aldactone is used to manage edema associated with conditions like cirrhosis of the liver and nephrotic syndrome. As a prescription pharmaceutical, it requires careful monitoring by healthcare professionals to manage potential side effects and interactions with other medications.
