Aldactone 50 Tablet is used to treat conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, and fluid retention associated with liver or kidney disease. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water. This helps to reduce fluid buildup and lower blood pressure.
Unlike other diuretics, Aldactone 50 tablet does not eliminate potassium from the body through urine. It is potassium-sparing diuretic. Which is also helpful in the treatment of hypokalemia i.e. low potassium levels.
Physicians also prescribe Aldactone 50 tablet for patients who have excess aldosterone in the body. The aldosterone hormone secreted by the adrenal gland regulates salt and water balance in the body. Aldactone 50 tablet is a prescription drug and should be taken with consultation from a doctor.
