About Aldactone (spironolactone)
Aldactone is a drug used in the treatment of hypertension, low potassium levels, and cardiovascular disease. Aldactone contains potassium that maintains your body's normal potassium level and prevents your body from absorbing too much salt.
It belongs to the potassium-sparing diuretics and Aldosterone-receptor antagonists drug classes. It is available under the generic, spironolactone. Aldactone is available only by prescription. It is available under different brand names, including CaroSpir.
Aldactone can be used to treat edema and swelling problems. It is also used to control the level of aldosterone in your body. It is generally referred to as a water pill.
Aldactone is available in capsule form and oral suspension form.
It's always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage you are prescribed.
If you are prescribed spironolactone, be sure to complete the full course of the diuretic unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. Aldactone may not fully treat your high blood pressure, kidney problems, or heart problems if you don't complete your prescription.
