Frequently asked questions about Aldactone

Aldactone is a brand-name prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure or swelling (edema) associated with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder. It is also used as a therapy for people with hyperaldosteronism (a condition in which the adrenal gland produces too much of the hormone aldosterone) and to treat low potassium levels in the blood. Aldactone is also prescribed along with other medications to increase survival and reduce swelling after heart failure. As a treatment for high blood pressure, it is commonly prescribed as an oral tablet taken along with other medications and lifestyle adjustments to reduce your risk of heart failure.

Aldactone contains the drug spironolactone, which is available in generic form. Aldactone is only available via prescription from a licensed health care provider.

Aldactone is approved to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, edema (swelling) after heart failure, edema after liver failure, and hyperaldosteronism. It may also be used to boost low potassium levels in the body.

High blood pressure is a dangerous—potentially fatal—condition in which the heart is met with too much resistance from blocked or narrowed arteries as it tries to pump blood and oxygen around your body. High blood pressure can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, and many more complications when not treated. Nearly half of Americans have high blood pressure, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid trapped in the body’s tissue. Numerous medical conditions can cause this swelling, which is often a symptom rather than a condition. When left untreated, excess fluid in the body can increase blood pressure.

By lowering fluid buildup in the body, Aldactone helps lower blood pressure. It should be noted that Aldactone is prescribed along with a healthy diet and physical exercise to reduce blood pressure. Doctors do not use Aldactone alone to treat high blood pressure.

Aldactone is classified as a diuretic (also known as a water pill). These drugs help your kidneys release extra salt and water into the urine, lowering the overall fluid levels in the body. Not only does this help reduce the symptoms of edema, but it can also help lower blood pressure by freeing up blood vessels to allow for greater blood flow.

While adverse reactions to Aldactone are uncommon, some patients who take the drug may experience mild side effects. The most common side effect of diuretic medication is more frequent urination.

Additional side effects reported from Aldactone use include:

  • Vomiting
  • Stomach pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Drowsiness
  • Restlessness
  • Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
  • Irregular menstrual periods
  • Enlarged or tender breasts in men and women

Talk to your health care provider if these adverse reactions do not go away within a few days.

More severe adverse reactions include:

  • Skin rash
  • Extreme thirst
  • Dry mouth
  • Changes in heartbeat
  • Dizziness
  • Faintness
  • Headache
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Weakness or muscle pain
  • Skin rash
  • Hives
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • Decreased urination

As with all prescription medications, inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you currently take before starting treatment with Aldactone. Aldactone can interact with other medicines and substances, causing potentially serious side effects.

Specifically, tell your doctor if you are taking:

  • ACE inhibitors
  • Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARNs)
  • NSAIDs
  • Direct renin inhibitors (blood pressure medication)
  • Potassium supplements

Before beginning treatment with Aldactone, let your provider know if you are pregnant or are planning on becoming pregnant.

Aldactone is an oral tablet commonly prescribed at strengths of 25, 50, or 100 mg per tablet. The exact dosage will vary depending on the patient’s age, body weight, and the severity of the condition requiring treatment.

If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of Aldactone without consulting your doctor first. Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

Aldactone is only available by prescription from a licensed health care provider. Providers on Sesame can order Aldactone for local pickup on the same day. Talk to a provider on Sesame and get your prescription ordered right away for fast and convenient pickup from a pharmacy of your choice.

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your doctor.
