INTRODUCTION

ALDACTONE F is a combination of Spironolactone and Frusemide which belongs to the group of medicines called Diuretics. It helps to reduce fluid build-up (edema) in the body. Edema is a type of swelling or puffiness of body parts caused due to excessive accumulation of fluid (water) in the body. These extra fluids can cause swollen ankles, shortness of breath and can make you feel more tired than usual. It can also put extra strain on your heart, blood vessels, lungs, kidneys, or liver.

Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic and frusemide is a loop diuretic. They act by removing the excess water and certain electrolytes (sodium and chloride) from the body in the form of urine. Unlike other diuretics, ALDACTONE F retains potassium in the body which prevents the risk of developing hypokalaemia (low blood potassium levels).

Before taking ALDACTONE F inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you are severely dehydrated or have diabetes, gout, prostate problems, or low blood pressure which makes you feel dizzy while standing up or changing position.

During treatment with ALDACTONE F, avoid consuming potassium rich diet or potassium supplements, as it may further increase the levels of potassium in your body.

ALDACTONE F is not recommended for use in patients with severe low sodium levels in their blood. It is also not suitable for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to increased risk of side effects.

ALDACTONE F may alters the levels of electrolytes in your body and may make you feel dizzy or tired very easily. To avoid this, your doctor would closely monitor your serum electrolyte levels and increase or decrease the dose of ALDACTONE F accordingly.

The most common side effects of [GBKEYWORD] are headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, muscle weakness, increased urination, or impotence. Consult your doctor if any of the side effect bothers you.
