Benefits of Aldactone Tablet
For Heart Failure
Heart failure occurs when the heart becomes weakened and is unable to pump enough blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. This can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs, ankles, abdomen, and other areas. Aldactone helps alleviate these symptoms, improving your overall energy levels and well-being. For the best results, it's important to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and regular physical activity. Continue taking the medication consistently, even if you begin to feel better.

Aldactone 100 Tablet is a diuretic (water pill) primarily used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure. It helps reduce swelling (edema) caused by various conditions and is also effective in treating low potassium levels in the body (hypokalemia).
You can take Aldactone 100 Tablet with or without food, but it’s important to take it consistently in the same way each time for maximum benefit. Taking it with food may help minimize some side effects, and taking it earlier in the day can prevent the need to wake up during the night to use the bathroom. It's important to continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if you feel fine, as stopping it could worsen your condition. Follow your doctor’s guidance regarding the amount of liquids you should consume. If you're being treated for high blood pressure, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and dietary modifications can enhance the effectiveness of the medication.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and swelling or tenderness in the breasts (in both men and women). If these side effects become bothersome or severe, consult your doctor for possible solutions. Alcohol consumption can increase certain side effects, so it’s advisable to be cautious.
If you have kidney problems or difficulty urinating, you should use Aldactone 100 Tablet with caution. Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart disease, or if you are pregnant. Additionally, inform your healthcare team of all other medications you're taking, as they may interact with Aldactone. This medication should only be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding if absolutely necessary.
While on Aldactone, you may be advised to limit your salt or salt substitute intake, and frequent monitoring of your blood pressure will be necessary. Your doctor may also conduct other tests to track your progress.
