Aldactone (spironolactone) 25mg is a prescription medication used to treat conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension), fluid retention (edema), and certain hormonal disorders. It belongs to a class of medications called potassium-sparing diuretics, which help the body eliminate excess fluid while retaining potassium. Aldactone is commonly prescribed for individuals with heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney conditions.

Each 25mg tablet works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the body to retain sodium and water. By reducing sodium levels and maintaining potassium, Aldactone helps manage blood pressure, decrease swelling, and improve overall heart and kidney function. It is also used in certain cases to treat acne, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and hormonal imbalances due to its anti-androgen properties.

Aldactone should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision, as it requires careful monitoring of potassium levels and kidney function. Dosage and treatment duration depend on the individual’s medical condition and response to therapy. It’s an effective medication for managing specific health concerns but should be used as part of a broader treatment plan.
