Aldactone F.C. Tablets 25mg 20 tab
Aldactone (spironolactone) is a potassium-sparing diuretic used to treat conditions such as heart failure, high blood pressure (hypertension), edema (fluid retention) due to heart, liver, or kidney disorders, and primary hyperaldosteronism. It helps the body eliminate excess fluid while retaining potassium, and is often used when other diuretics cause low potassium levels.
