Description
Aldactone 100mg tablet is a medication used to treat a variety of health conditions related to fluid retention and high blood pressure. It contains Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic that works by helping the body get rid of excess sodium and water while retaining potassium. This medication is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from hypertension, heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disorders, where fluid buildup is a concern. Aldactone helps to manage these conditions effectively by reducing swelling and lowering blood pressure.
Functions
Aldactone is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and fluid retention caused by various conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver disease (hepatic ascites), and kidney problems. By acting as a diuretic, it helps the body to excrete excess fluid, which can improve symptoms such as swelling and breathlessness. Additionally, Spironolactone helps maintain potassium levels in the body, making it a safer alternative for patients who require diuretics but need to avoid potassium loss.
Precautions
Before using Aldactone, it is crucial to consult with your doctor, especially if you have a history of kidney or liver problems. This medication is not suitable for individuals with anuria (inability to produce urine), severe kidney or liver failure, or high potassium levels (hyperkalemia). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid this medication unless advised by their healthcare provider. Always follow your doctor’s recommendations for dosage and monitor your health while using Aldactone.
Side Effects
Like any medication, Aldactone can cause side effects. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and stomach upset. Some patients may also experience skin rashes or hormonal imbalances, such as gynaecomastia (enlargement of breast tissue in men). Irregular periods or changes in menstruation may also occur in women. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it is important to contact your doctor for guidance.
Cautions
While using Aldactone, caution should be exercised when engaging in activities that require alertness, such as driving, as it can cause dizziness or drowsiness. Avoid alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of side effects. Be aware of potential interactions with other medications, particularly potassium supplements, ACE inhibitors, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as they may affect Aldactone’s effectiveness or increase potassium levels in the blood. Regular blood tests to monitor potassium levels are advised while on this medication. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other treatments you are using to ensure safe and effective use of Aldactone.
