Aldactone 25MG 20'S - Treating High Blood Pressure and Fluid Retention

Aldactone (Spironolactone) is a diuretic medication used primarily for managing high blood pressure, heart failure, and fluid retention conditions like edema. By blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for fluid retention, Aldactone helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water while preserving potassium levels. It is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from conditions such as hypertension, cirrhosis, or kidney disease.

Spironolactone is also used to treat hormonal imbalances in women, such as acne or hirsutism (excess hair growth), by addressing the underlying hormonal causes. Its ability to balance electrolytes while promoting fluid loss makes it an effective choice in various treatment plans.
