General Information On Aldactone
Aldactone is used to treat and prevent fluid retention and hypokalemia (low blood potassium levels) in people with cirrhosis and heart failure. In patients who suffer from cirrhosis or heart failure, the kidney eliminates potassium and retains fluid and salt. Aldactone helps the body get rid of excess of fluid by increasing the flow of urine. It also prevents the kidneys from eliminating potassium. Due to these two inherent properties, Aldactone is termed as a potassium-sparing diuretic.
The generic name of the drug is Spironolactone. It is available in Aldactone 25mg, Aldactone 50mg, and Aldactone 100mg strengths. You need a doctor’s prescription to buy Aldactone as it is a prescription drug.
Each oral tablet of Aldactone contains the following ingredients:
- Spironolactone (Active Ingredient)
- Calcium Sulfate (Inactive Ingredient)
- Magnesium Stearate (Inactive Ingredient)
- Corn Starch (Inactive Ingredient)
- Polyethylene Glycol (Inactive Ingredient)
- Titanium Dioxide (Inactive Ingredient)
- Povidone (Inactive Ingredient)
- Hypromellose (Inactive Ingredient)
- Flavor (Inactive Ingredient)
- Iron Oxide (Inactive Ingredient)
Side Effects for Aldactone
Aldactone may cause some unwanted side effects. Less serious side effects of this potassium-sparing diuretic pill are: skin rash, mild nausea, headache, dizziness, and abdominal ache. These side effects are mild and generally appear during the start of treatment. These side effects stop surfacing once your body gets used to the drug.
Serious side effects of Aldactone are: light-headedness, drowsiness, shallow breathing, confusion, tremors, muscle weakness, muscle pain, uneven heartbeat, less than normal or no urination, loss of appetite, low fever, black or tarry stools, dark-colored urine, or yellowing of the eyes or skin. You must contact your doctor as soon as you notice any of these symptoms.
In rare cases, Aldactone may trigger an allergic reaction. As some allergic reactions can be fatal if timely medical help is not sought, you should contact your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breath, trouble breathing, hives, or swelling of your face after taking Aldactone.
Precautions
Do not buy Aldactone if you are allergic to any ingredient present in it. You should not take this drug if you have urination problems, hyperkalemia (high blood potassium levels), or a kidney disease. You should not take any other diuretics, potassium supplements, or steroids along with Spironolactone.
Aldactone may cause harm to an unborn child. If you are pregnant, take this drug only if your doctor approves its use. If you become pregnant during treatment, you should tell your doctor about it. This drug may cause harm to a nursing child. If you are breastfeeding an infant, tell your doctor about it before using Aldactone.
During treatment, avoid alcohol as it can aggravate some of the side effects of Spironolactone. Also keep your salt intake in check during treatment, as high salt intake can reduce the efficacy of this drug.
Aldactone Dosage
As noted above, Aldactone comes in Aldactone 25mg, Aldactone 50mg and Aldactone 100mg strengths. The strength and dosage prescribed to you will depend on the condition being treated and several other factors. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage for you after studying your condition and medical history. You must ensure that you follow all your doctor’s instructions and take the medication exactly as directed by him/her. For treating high blood pressure the most common dose is Aldactone 50mg once daily.
Interactions
Various drugs are known to interact with Aldactone. To prevent unwanted drug interactions, inform your doctor about the medicines you are taking in advance. The drugs that may cause complications when taken along with Aldactone are: NSAIDs (such as diflunisal, ibuprofen, nabumetone, piroxicam, meloxicam, ketorolac, and others), ACE inhibitors (such as perindopril, trandolapril, lisinopril, captopril, enalapril, and others), and steroids (such as mometasone, dexamethasone, fluticasone, and others).
