Spironolactone is used as a diuretic that maintains potassium levels in the body and works to reduce fluid retention resulting from heart, liver and kidney diseases. It helps reduce swelling, improve blood pressure and reduce the feeling of heaviness resulting from fluid accumulation. It is also used in some hormonal conditions in women to regulate hormonal balance and reduce the symptoms of excess male hormones. It must be used under medical supervision to determine the dose and follow up on salt tests. It should not be stopped suddenly to avoid disrupting the body's internal functions.
Spironolactone contributes to improving the general feeling and reducing complications associated with high fluids if used regularly.
