Aldactone 25 mg Uses

Aldactone is used to treat: 

  • High blood pressure (Hypertension)
  • Edema (the swelling caused by other conditions)

Edema occurs when the body’s capillaries, tiny blood vessels, leak fluids into the surrounding tissues. 

It leads to a buildup of fluids, causing swelling of body parts.

  • Heart failure
  • Low Potassium

Working of Spironolactone

Spironolactone in Aldactone is a Potassium-sparing Diuretic, meaning it leaves the Potassium in the body and removes the excess water and electrolytes from the body. This tablet acts against a hormone called Aldosterone, which works by retaining water and Sodium in the body. The medicine Aldactone works against Aldosterone.It thus lowers blood pressure and reduces swelling.
