Drug Uses
Aldactone is in a class of drugs called potassium sparing diuretics (water pill). It reduces the amount of fluid in the body without causing the loss of potassium. Aldactone is usually used for treatment of edema (swelling) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Aldactone is also used to treat potassium deficiency and hyperaldosteronism (a hormonal disorder).
How Taken
Aldactone comes as a pill to take by mouth. The normal dose is a tablet a day, taken in the morning with a meal or taken two times a day with breakfast and lunch. This pill doesn`t cure, it only controls blood pressure levels, consequently, continue taking Aldactone even if you feel better. Do not stop taking Aldactone without your physician`s approval.
Additional Information
Aldactone may also be used in combination with other drugs for treatment of precocious puberty or myasthenia gravis. Aldactone can also be used for treatment of female patients with abnormal facial hair. Contact your physician about the possible risks of using this pill for your condition.
