Product Overview
Aldactone 100 Tablet is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) primarily used to treat conditions like heart failure, high blood pressure (hypertension), edema (fluid retention), and low potassium levels (hypokalemia). It helps the body eliminate excess fluid and maintain the right balance of electrolytes, particularly potassium.
Salt Composition:
Spironolactone (100mg)
Key Uses of Aldactone 100 Tablet:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Helps reduce high blood pressure by removing excess fluid, which decreases the strain on the heart and blood vessels.
- Edema (Swelling): Treats swelling caused by heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, or other conditions that cause fluid buildup in the body.
- Heart Failure: Improves symptoms of heart failure by reducing fluid retention and making the heart’s pumping ability more efficient.
- Low Potassium (Hypokalemia): Treats and prevents low potassium levels in the body, which can be caused by other diuretics or certain health conditions.
How Aldactone 100 Tablet Works:
Aldactone 100 Tablet contains Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by blocking the effects of a hormone called aldosterone, which causes the body to retain salt and water. By inhibiting aldosterone, spironolactone helps the body eliminate excess water without losing potassium, which is crucial for heart and muscle function.
Key Benefits of Aldactone 100 Tablet:
- In Heart Failure: Helps reduce fluid retention, relieves symptoms such as breathlessness and swelling, and reduces the workload on the heart, improving overall energy and well-being.
- In Hypertension: Lowers blood pressure by removing excess fluid, which helps prevent complications like stroke, kidney damage, and heart failure.
- In Edema: Reduces swelling caused by fluid retention in conditions like liver cirrhosis or kidney disease.
- In Low Potassium Levels: Prevents the loss of potassium while helping to manage fluid balance.
