        Product Information

        General Information:
        AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Spironolactone capsules

        Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic also referred to as ’water tablets’. Spironolactone capsules exact their actions by blocking the actions of the hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone is produced in the kidneys and adrenal gland is responsible for its production.

        Aldosterone acts on the kidney by balancing the equilibrium between salt and water in the body.

        Blocking this hormone (aldosterone) makes the kidneys to increase the number of salts it filters out of the blood, and into the urine.

        When salts (e.g. sodium) are filtered out of the blood, water is drawn alongside it. The action of spironolactone increases the amount of water that is drawn out of the blood; with this, excess fluid is removed from the system.

        The conditions that require this mechanism of action ranges from heart failure, liver cirrhosis, certain types of kidney disease and other systemic conditions that cause excessive fluid build-up in the body. Spironolactone renal action peaks after 7 hours and persists for at least 24 hours; it is excreted in the urine and feces in the form of metabolites.

        Side Effects:
        As with all pharmaceutical medicines, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of spironolactone capsules. Always consult a physician for medical advice before use.

        Common side effects may include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, leg cramps, dizziness, drowsiness, itching, high potassium levels, and irregular menstrual cycle. Some serious side effects include electrolyte/fluid problem, dangerously high potassium levels, allergic reactions, gynecomastia, and severe skin reactions. For a comprehensive list of all possible effects, consult your doctor. If any symptom persists or gets worse, or you notice any other symptoms, then please call your doctor immediately.
