Spironolactone

Each spironolactone tablet typically contains 25 milligrams of spironolactone as the active ingredient. The tablets also include excipients like microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, povidone, magnesium stearate, and hypromellose.

Common side effects of spironolactone may include dizziness, headache, nausea, and stomach pain. However, some individuals may experience more severe side effects such as hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), irregular heartbeat, or allergic reactions. If you notice symptoms like severe dizziness, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or throat, seek immediate medical help.

It's important to inform your healthcare provider of any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking before starting spironolactone. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with kidney problems, Addison's disease, or high potassium levels. Additionally, avoid using spironolactone if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to any of its ingredients. If you have heart issues or are taking medications like ACE inhibitors or potassium supplements, discuss with your doctor before using spironolactone to prevent potential interactions.
