Spironolactone is a prescription medication primarily known as a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill). Its key action is blocking the hormone aldosterone, which regulates salt and water balance.
Heart Failure: Used to reduce fluid buildup (edema) and improve survival by counteracting harmful effects of aldosterone.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Often used in combination with other diuretics to lower blood pressure while preventing potassium loss.
Liver Disease (Cirrhosis): Treats dangerous fluid retention (ascites) in the abdomen.
Hormonal & Dermatological Conditions (Off-label):
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome): Manages symptoms like hirsutism (excess hair growth) and acne by blocking androgen (male hormone) receptors.
Acne & Female-Pattern Hair Loss: Frequently prescribed for its anti-androgen effects.
Side Effects: Can include high potassium levels (hyperkalemia), dizziness, breast tenderness, and menstrual irregularities.
Warning: It is a teratogen and can cause feminization of a male fetus; reliable contraception is required for women of childbearing age.
Availability: It is only available by prescription due to its potent effects and monitoring requirements.
In summary, spironolactone is a versatile drug essential for managing cardiovascular and liver-related fluid retention, and it is also a cornerstone treatment for androgen-driven conditions in women.
