What is Spironolactone?
Active Ingredients: Spironolactone
Spironolactone Tablets are a drug used to treat fluid buildup associated with high blood pressure and heart failure. This medication is also used to reduce swelling (edema) caused by certain conditions, which improves symptoms such as breathing problems. It is also used to treat conditions associated with aldosterone.
Spironolactone is classified as an aldosterone antagonist, which is also called a potassium-sparing diuretic or “water pill”. The active ingredient works by inhibiting the action of aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone that causes the body to retain salt and water. This effect causes the body to reabsorb the sodium, which also encourages the elimination of fluid from the system. Spironolactone also has antiandrogen properties.
