Aldactone

Aldactone is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient spironolactone. It is a diuretic medication that is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and edema (fluid retention) caused by various medical conditions. Aldactone works by blocking the action of a hormone called aldosterone, which helps to reduce the amount of salt and water in the body, leading to decreased blood pressure and reduced fluid retention. It is typically taken orally in tablet form.
