Aldactone 100 Tablet contains spironolactone, which is mainly a potassium-sparing diuretic used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and fluid retention.
However, spironolactone also has anti-androgenic effects, meaning it can block male hormones (androgens). Because of this, it is sometimes used off-label to manage conditions like acne, excess hair growth (hirsutism), and hormonal imbalances related to androgens.
So, while Aldactone is not primarily classified as an anti-androgen, it does have anti-androgen properties and can be used for that purpose under medical supervision. It is important to consult a specialist doctor before using it for any condition to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
