Aldactone (Spironolactone) Prescriptions Available Online Today

Aldactone prevents your body from absorbing too much salt while also making sure your potassium levels does not drop too low. Getting rid of extra salt in the body helps lower blood pressure.

The typical starting dosage of Aldactone is 50 to 100 mg taken once per day, usually in the morning. However, dosages may range from 25 to 400 mg per day, so always follow your doctor's dosing instructions to ensure that you are taking the correct dose for your health condition.

Since Aldactone reduces high blood pressure, it reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. Aldactone also helps treat heart failure and low potassium levels.
