Aldactone Tablet 15's
Aldactone Tablet 15's
Aldactone Tablet 15's

Aldactone Tablet is used to treat oedema (fluid overload) associated with hepatic cirrhosis (chronic liver damage), congestive heart failure, and nephrotic syndrome (a kidney condition characterized by excessive protein loss in the urine). It is also effective in managing hypertension (high blood pressure), hypokalaemia (low blood potassium levels), primary hyperaldosteronism (a condition with excessive aldosterone hormone), and heart failure. It contains Spironolactone, which works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack, stroke, or angina (chest pain) in the future. In some cases, this medication may cause common side effects, including low blood pressure, dehydration, drowsiness, dizziness, high potassium levels, low sodium levels, elevated creatinine levels, headaches, breast enlargement in males, and absence of menstrual periods in females. Before taking this medication, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medicines you are taking and any pre-existing medical conditions.

Health Queries

I have had left knee pain for many years, which used to worsen during periods. I have undergone uterus removal (hysterectomy), but my tubes are intact. I also have high blood pressure and take Aldactone 25 mg. My doctor prescribed alendronic acid 70 mg weekly along with supplements. How long can I safely take alendronic acid? Also, since I have poor dental health and exposed roots, what precautions should I take if I need a tooth extraction in the future?

Alendronic acid is commonly used for bone strengthening and is usually taken for 3-5 years, after which your doctor may reassess and sometimes give a gap depending on your bone health and risk. It is generally safe when taken as prescribed, but regular follow-up is important. A key precaution is dental care, as this medicine can rarely affect jaw healing (called Osteonecrosis of the Jaw). Before any tooth extraction or major dental procedure, inform both your dentist and doctor that you are taking this medicine; they may plan treatment carefully or advise timing adjustments. Maintain good oral hygiene and get routine dental check-ups to reduce risks.

Sudden increases in blood pressure can occur due to stress, anxiety, poor sleep, excess salt intake, or missed medicines. Occasional rises may not be serious, but frequent spikes need medical attention. Monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor to adjust treatment if needed.
