Aldactone (Spironolactone)

Aldactone is a hypertension treatment medication available by prescription and used to lower blood pressure or to treat heart failure risk. Aldactone may also be prescribed for hypokalemia treatment when the patient has chronically low blood potassium levels. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and it inhibits the absorption of salt while keeping potassium levels higher. Aldactone uses may also be for edema or primary hyperaldosteronism.

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension is the clinical term for high blood pressure, and it is defined when a person has continued blood pressure readings of a systolic pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher, or a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg or higher. There are Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension diagnoses, as well as hypertensive crisis when a person’s blood sugar is so high that they need to receive immediate medical attention. Untreated hypertension can lead to stroke, heart failure, kidney damage, vision loss, erectile dysfunction, and memory loss. Excess dietary sodium is a major contributor to worsening hypertension for adults.
