Aldactone (Generic Name: Spironolactone)


 

Aldactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low. Aldactone is prescribed to diagnose or treat a condition in which you have too much aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands to help regulate the salt and water balance in your body. Aldactone also treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or a kidney disorder called nephrotic syndrome. Aldactone is also prescribed to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood). If this medication is what you need, you can save money when you buy Aldactone online from Canada.

Avoid a diet high in salt while using Aldactone (spironolactone). Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and can make this medication less effective. Do not use salt substitutes or low-sodium milk products that contain potassium. These products could cause your potassium levels to get too high while you are taking Aldactone (spironolactone).

Take each dose of Aldactone (spironolactone) with a full glass of water. If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.
