Description
Spironolactone is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as potassium-sparing diuretics.
The 25mg tablets of spironolactone are a common dosage form. This medication works by blocking the actions of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates the balance of sodium and potassium in the body. By blocking aldosterone, spironolactone helps the body to excrete excess fluid and salt while retaining potassium.
It’s important to take spironolactone exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to follow their instructions carefully. Be sure to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications or supplements you are taking, as they may interact with spironolactone. Additionally, regular monitoring of potassium levels and kidney function may be necessary while taking this medication.
