Aldactone 25mg Tablet 15’s

Aldactone 25mg Tablet contains Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist. It is primarily used to treat fluid retention (edema), high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and hormonal imbalances such as hyperaldosteronism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). By reducing excess fluid and controlling electrolyte balance, Aldactone helps improve overall cardiovascular and renal function.

Uses of Aldactone 25mg Tablet:

Edema Management: Helps reduce swelling caused by fluid retention due to liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, or heart failure.
Hypertension Control: Lowers high blood pressure by removing excess sodium and water while retaining potassium.
Heart Failure Treatment: Aids in managing congestive heart failure by reducing strain on the heart.
Primary Hyperaldosteronism: Used to treat conditions where the body produces too much aldosterone, leading to fluid buildup and electrolyte imbalances.
Hormonal Disorders: Often prescribed for PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) to help reduce excessive androgen (male hormone) levels, which can cause acne, hair loss, and irregular periods.
Resistant Hypertension: Effective in cases where blood pressure remains high despite using other medications.

How Aldactone 25mg Works:

Aldactone (Spironolactone) blocks aldosterone, a hormone responsible for retaining salt and water in the body. By inhibiting this hormone, the tablet helps the body eliminate excess fluid and sodium while preserving potassium levels, preventing muscle cramps and weakness caused by potassium loss.

Dosage & Administration:

• Take once or twice daily as prescribed by your doctor.
• Preferably take with food to reduce stomach upset.
• Stick to the prescribed dose—do not increase or decrease without consulting a doctor.

Precautions & Warnings:

Who Should Avoid Aldactone?

• Patients with severe kidney disease or anuria (inability to produce urine).
• Individuals with high potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
• Those allergic to Spironolactone or similar medications.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women (use only if prescribed by a doctor).

Possible Side Effects:

• Common: Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, stomach upset.
• Serious (rare cases): High potassium levels (causing muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat), breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia), menstrual irregularities.
• If any severe reaction occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions:

Avoid taking Aldactone with:

• ACE Inhibitors & ARBs (e.g., Lisinopril, Losartan) – May increase potassium levels dangerously.
• NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen, Naproxen) – Can reduce its effectiveness.
• Potassium Supplements or Salt Substitutes – May cause hyperkalemia.

Storage Instructions:

• Store at room temperature (20-25°C).
