Drug Uses
Aldactone is in a class of drugs called potassium-sparing diuretics (water pill). It is used to reduce the amount of fluid in your body without causing the loss of potassium.
Aldactone is used to treat edema (swelling) and hypertension (high blood pressure).
Aldactone is also used to treat potassium deficiency and hyperaldosteronism (a hormonal disorder).
How Taken
Aldactone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken once a day in the morning with breakfast or twice a day with breakfast and lunch. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Aldactone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Aldactone controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take Aldactone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Aldactone without talking to your doctor.
Warnings/Precautions
Before taking Aldactone, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease; have liver disease; have diabetes mellitus; have high levels of potassium in your blood; or are taking a potassium supplement or an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor).
You may not be able to take Aldactone, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.
Aldactone is in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that Aldactone is known to harm an unborn baby. Do not take Aldactone if you are pregnant.
It is not known whether Aldactone passes into breast milk. Do not take Aldactone without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Possible Side Effects
Stop taking Aldactone and seek emergency medical attention if you experience any of the following serious side effects: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, weakness, numbness, or tingling (caused by high levels of potassium in your blood); or decreased urination.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Aldactone and talk to your doctor if you experience unusual headache or dizziness; nausea, diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite; dry mouth; bloating; muscle cramps; or lowering of the voice, excessive hair growth, or enlarged breasts.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Storage
Keep this medicine in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medicine that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medicine.
Overdose
Acute over dosage of Aldactone may be manifested by drowsiness, mental confusion, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or diarrhea. Seek emergency medical attention.
More Information
