Aldactone 25mg Tablet is a medicine known as a diuretic (water pill) containing Spironolactone 25mg. It is primarily used in the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure (hypertension). It also helps reduce swelling (edema) caused by certain conditions and is used to treat low potassium levels in the body (hypokalemia).

Aldactone 25mg Tablet can be taken with or without food, but for consistent benefits, take it the same way each time. Taking it with food can help reduce some side effects, and taking it earlier in the day can prevent the need to urinate frequently at night. Continue using this medicine as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start to feel well, as stopping it could worsen your condition. Follow your doctor's advice regarding the type and amount of liquids you should drink. If you are being treated for high blood pressure, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and dietary adjustments can enhance the effectiveness of this medicine.

Common side effects of Aldactone 25mg Tablet include feeling or being sick (nausea, vomiting), dizziness, and breast swelling or tenderness in both men and women. If these effects bother you or become severe, inform your doctor; there may be ways to reduce or prevent them. Drinking alcohol can intensify certain side effects.

Exercise caution when using Aldactone 25mg Tablet if you have kidney problems or are unable to urinate. Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart disease, or if you are pregnant. Also, make sure your healthcare team is aware of all other medications you are taking, as they may interact with Aldactone 25mg Tablet. This medicine should only be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding if clearly necessary and advised by a doctor. While on this medication, you may be advised to limit your intake of salt or salt substitutes, and your blood pressure will be checked frequently.
