• ALDACTONE 50 MG 15 TABLETS: A Potassium-Sparing Diuretic

ALDACTONE 50 MG 15 TABLETS is a prescription-only medicine containing Spironolactone 50 mg. It is primarily used for the treatment of heart failure, hypertension (high blood pressure), edema (fluid retention), primary hyperaldosteronism, and low potassium levels (hypokalemia) in selected patients. Early and consistent treatment can help reduce fluid overload, control blood pressure, and support long-term cardiovascular health.

Spironolactone selectively blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for sodium and water retention. Unlike many other diuretics, it removes excess fluid from the body while conserving potassium. ALDACTONE is intended for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider, with regular monitoring of kidney function and blood potassium levels.

2. Helps lower high blood pressure.
3. Relieves swelling (edema) associated with liver disease, kidney disease, or heart failure.
4. Treats primary hyperaldosteronism.

• HOW ALDACTONE 50 MG 15 TABLETS (Spironolactone 50 mg) WORKS

Spironolactone blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the body to retain sodium and water while increasing potassium excretion. By blocking aldosterone, it increases sodium and water elimination through urine while conserving potassium, which reduces fluid retention and lowers blood pressure. Because it acts specifically on aldosterone receptors, it offers targeted diuretic activity without the potassium loss seen with many other diuretics.
