Spironolactone 25mg – 28 Tablets

Aldosterone Antagonist for Fluid Retention & Hypertension

Spironolactone 25mg is a prescription medication from the class of aldosterone antagonists. It is designed to block the effects of the hormone aldosterone, which is responsible for sodium retention in the body. By inhibiting this hormone, Spironolactone helps to reduce fluid buildup (oedema) and control blood pressure while minimizing potassium loss—an effect that sets it apart from many other diuretics.

🔑 Key Benefits of Spironolactone

• Reduces Fluid Retention (Oedema): Helps eliminate excess water from tissues and the abdominal cavity (ascites).

• Supports Heart Health: Effective in managing fluid buildup caused by severe heart failure (NYHA III-IV).

• Lowers Blood Pressure: Acts as an adjunct treatment for hypertension, alongside a salt-free diet or other diuretics.

• Kidney Support: Beneficial in treating certain kidney disorders associated with fluid retention.

• Potassium-Sparing Diuretic: Unlike many diuretics, Spironolactone reduces sodium while minimizing potassium loss.

📋 Medical Uses

Spironolactone 25mg tablets may be prescribed by a healthcare professional for the treatment of:

• Accumulation of fluid in the tissues (oedema) due to heart disorders

• Severe heart failure (NYHA III-IV)

• High blood pressure (hypertension)

• Certain kidney conditions

• Fluid retention in the abdominal cavity (ascites)

Additionally, Spironolactone is used in diagnostic testing for Conn’s disease (primary hyperaldosteronism) and its treatment.

Note: Pediatric use is only recommended under the supervision of a paediatric specialist.

⚙️ How It Works

Spironolactone works by increasing sodium and water excretion via urine while preserving potassium levels, helping to restore a healthy fluid and electrolyte balance. This diuretic action also reduces the strain on the heart and blood vessels, improving overall cardiovascular function.

⚠️ Precautions & Side Effects

Possible side effects include:

• Dizziness or low blood pressure

• Headache or gastrointestinal discomfort

• Changes in potassium levels (hyperkalemia)

• Breast tenderness or swelling (rare)

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and undergo regular blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels during treatment.
