 | descriptionsOne of the main functions of the kidneys is to retain salt sodium chloride and water. In patients with heart failure and cirrhosis increased levels of a hormone produced by the adrenal glands called aldosterone causes salt and fluid retention by the kidneys. Spironolactone inhibits the action of aldosterone causing the kidneys to excrete salt and fluid while retaining potassium. Therefore spironolactone is classified as a potassium-sparing medication that promotes the output of urine diuretic. |

 | interactionSpironolactone can lower blood sodium levels while raising flood potassium levels. Excessively high blood potassium levels can lead to potentially life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities. Therefore spironolactone usually is not administered with other agents that can raise blood potassium levels such as potassium supplements ACE inhibitors indometacin Indocin or other potassium-sparing diuretics. Spironolactone can cause elevation of blood digoxin Lanoxin levels requiring adjustment of the digoxin dosage. |
| |
 | usesSpironolactone is used as a diuretic to remove the excess fluid caused by congestive heart failure cirrhosis of the liver and kidney disease. It can also be used to treat elevated blood pressure in combination with other drugs and in resistant cases of low potassium hypokalemia. Spironolactone is also used to counteract the effects of excessive adrenal aldosterone production. Aldosterone overproduction can occur from a tumor in the adrenal gland or when enlarged adrenal glands produce an excessive amount of aldosterone. |
