Aldactone belongs to a group of medicines called ‘diuretics’ – you may know these as ‘water’ tablets. You may have gone to your doctor because you had swollen ankles or were short of breath. This can happen when your heart's pumping action has become weak because of too much fluid in your body. This is called 'congestive heart failure'. Pushing extra fluid around your body means your heart has to work harder. Your doctor has given you Aldactone to help you lose the extra fluid from your body. This will mean your heart has to do less work. You lose the extra fluid as urine, so you may need to go to the toilet more often while you are taking Aldactone.

The adult dose varies from 25 mg to 400 mg spironolactone a day. If you are not sure how much to take, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Aldactone (Fluoxetine) is used to treat high blood pressure and relieve edema (swelling) caused by heart or kidney problems. It works by blocking the action of a chemical in the body that causes swelling and fluid retention. High blood pressure is a marker of cardiovascular disease and can increase the risk of stroke, heart attack and death. Aldactone can also be used to treat hyperkalemia, a condition in which potassium is increased by the body’s cells called K+) secretion. This condition occurs due to excessive production of unneeded potassium by the cells. By relaxing the blood vessels, Aldactone helps to relieve this unbalanced condition and improve heart function and blood pressure. It is important to take Aldactone as directed by your doctor, particularly for older adults or those with kidney problems. Dosage information for Aldactone can be found on the product insert. It is usually taken orally once a day. Avoid consuming alcohol as it can reduce the effectiveness of Aldactone. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if any side effects are observed.

Aldactone is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), fluid retention (edema), and swelling (swelling) caused by heart or kidney problems.
