Edeflow 50 Tablet 10 contains Spironolactone (50 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Aldosterone antagonist: Spironolactone blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates salt and water balance in your body.

• Sodium excretion: It reduces the reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys, leading to increased sodium excretion through urine.

• Potassium retention: Unlike other diuretics, spironolactone helps your body retain potassium rather than lose it, which is why it's called a "potassium-sparing" diuretic.

• Diuretic effect: By promoting sodium and water excretion, it increases urine production, helping to reduce fluid retention and lower blood pressure.

Follow these instructions while storing Edeflow 50 Tablet 10:

• Protect from moisture, heat, and direct light.

• Do not store in the bathroom.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Reduce your salt intake if you have high blood pressure or fluid retention, as excess sodium can worsen these conditions that spironolactone helps manage.

• Monitor your potassium consumption—avoid suddenly increasing potassium-rich foods (like bananas and oranges) while taking this medicine, as it can raise potassium levels in your body.
