FAQ about Generic Aldactone
How does Spironolactone work?
Spironolactone inhibits the effect of aldosterone by competing for intracellular aldosterone receptors in the distal convoluted tubule cells. This decreases the reabsorption of sodium and water and decreases the secretion of potassium. Spironolactone also has anti-androgen activity and it binds to the androgen receptor and preventing it from interacting with dihydrotestosterone.

Guidelines before using Spironolactone
Spironolactone should not be given along with potassium supplements as it can cause hyperkalemia. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes containing potassium while taking Aldactone.

Thus the therapeutic effect of carbenoxolone sodium in peptic ulcer is reduced when given along with Spironolactone. Spironolactone increases plasma digoxin concentration. Spironolactone when given along with Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE Inhibitors) and nonsteroidal anti inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) can cause dangerous hyperkalemia. The patient should be cautioned of concomitant use of Aldactone and narcotics, barbiturates or alcohol as it can potentiate orthostatic hypotension.
