Aldactone 50 mg Tablet (15 Tab)

Product introduction
Aldactone 50 Tablet is a medicine known as a diuretic (water pill). It is mainly used in the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure. It reduces the swelling (edema) caused by other conditions. This medicine is also used to treat low potassium levels in the body (hypokalemia).

Aldactone 50 Tablet can be taken with or without food, but you should take it the same way each time to get the most benefit. Taking it with food can reduce some side effects, and taking it early in the day can prevent nighttime urination. You should keep using this medicine as prescribed, even if you feel well. If you stop taking it, your condition may worsen. Follow your doctor’s advice about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. If you are being treated for high blood pressure, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and dietary changes may improve the effectiveness of this medicine.

Common side effects include feeling or being sick, vomiting, dizziness, and swelling or tenderness of your breasts (in both men and women). If these bother you or seem serious, inform your doctor. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects.

Use Aldactone 50 Tablet with caution if you have kidney problems or difficulty urinating. Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease, or if you are pregnant. Inform your healthcare team about all other medications you are using. This medicine should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. You may also be advised to limit salt or salt substitute intake and have your blood pressure checked regularly. Other tests may also be done to monitor your progress.
