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.

About Aldactone Tablet

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. Oedema is associated with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) or heart failure (irregular heart pumping). Leg swelling is the main characteristic of oedema, accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and swelling in the hands or abdomen.

Aldactone Tablet contains spironolactone (a short-acting diuretic), 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.

Your doctor will advise you how often you should take Aldactone Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, Aldactone Tablet may cause common side effects such as hypotension (low blood pressure), dehydration, drowsiness, dizziness, hyperkalaemia (high potassium levels), hyponatraemia (low sodium levels), elevated creatinine levels, headache, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, fatigue, weakness, lethargy (somnolence), gynaecomastia (breast enlargement in males), and amenorrhea (absence of periods in females). Most of these side effects of Aldactone Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before taking Aldactone Tablet , inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Do not stop taking Aldactone Tablet  of your own, as doing so may raise your blood pressure, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Let your doctor know if you have any kidney, liver, or heart disease. Do not take Aldactone Tablet if you have severe kidney impairment, high potassium levels, or low sodium levels, or if you are taking any potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics (such as eplerenone), or a combination of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Aldactone Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy unless strongly suggested by your doctor. Please consult your doctor so that the dosage of Aldactone Tablet can be prescribed accordingly.

It helps remove excess fluid in the body by increasing the urine output from the kidneys.<br/> • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Aldactone Tablet helps lower high blood pressure by blocking aldosterone, thereby reducing water and sodium retention.<br/> • Heart failure: Aldactone Tablet is prescribed to improve survival and reduce hospitalisation in patients with severe heart failure, particularly those with NYHA Class III-IV symptoms who are not responding adequately to standard treatments.<br/> • Hypokalaemia (Low Blood Potassium Levels): Aldactone Tablet is effective in treating or preventing low potassium levels, especially in patients taking digitalis or when other therapies are ineffective.<br/> • Primary Hyperaldosteronism (Conn's Syndrome): Aldactone Tablet is used in both the treatment and diagnosis of this condition, helping to manage associated hypertension and hypokalaemia.<br/> • Ascites (Abdominal Fluid Buildup): In patients with cirrhosis (liver disease), Aldactone Tablet is used in combination with water pills/loop diuretics (such as furosemide) to manage ascites by enhancing fluid removal.<br/>

Directions for Use

  • Aldactone Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce side effects like nausea (feeling sick).
