Spironolactone (Aldactone)
Spironolactone (Aldactone) is a prescription diuretic with anti-androgenic properties. It flushes excess salt and water from the body and controls high blood pressure. It is used in the diagnosis and treatment of hyperaldosteronism, a condition in which the adrenal gland secretes too much aldosterone (a hormone that regulates the body's salt and potassium levels). Spironolactone is also used in treating other conditions that require the elimination of excess fluid from the body. These conditions include congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney disease, and unusually low potassium levels in the blood. When used for high blood pressure, Aldactone can be taken alone or with other high blood pressure medications. Buy Spironolactone (Generic Aldactone) Customers from any country in the world can purchase generic medication with no prior prescription.

Spironolactone dosage Primary Hyperaldosteronism: In the long test, you take 400 mg per day for 3 to 4 weeks. If your potassium levels and blood pressure are corrected with this dosage in this time period, your physician may assume you have this condition. In the short test, you receive 400 mg per day for 4 days. A laboratory test compares potassium levels while you are on the drug and after the it is stopped. Your doctor may then make a diagnosis. After the diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism is made and confirmed by more tests, the usual dose is 100 to 400 mg per day, prior to surgery. In those who are not good candidates for surgery, Spironolactone is given over the long term at the lowest effective dose. Fluid Retention (Congestive Heart Failure, Cirrhosis of the
