Aldactone is basically a water pill that prevents the body from absorbing excess of salt so that the body’s potassium levels do not get to low. This drug is used to diagnose the problem which causes too much aldosterone to be in your body. Aldosterone is basically a hormone produced by the adrenal glands which helps in regulating salt and water in your body. This drug also helps in fluid retention in the body which is known as edema which is known as the cause for heart failure, kidney disorder, and cirrhosis of liver. It is also known to be used to treat hypokaleia which is low potassium level in blood.

Aldactone should not be taken if you have serious medical conditions like kidney disease or urinary problems. It should also not be taken if you have high levels of potassium in your blood. You also should not take this drug if you are taking some kind of potassium supplement or some other diuretics. If you are prescribed this drug by your doctor you have to avoid drinking as much as possible as it results in increased side effects. While taking this drug you should also stay away from food that is rich in salt content. Your diet should not contain products which have salt substitutes or low sodium milk products which are rich in potassium. In short you should not take anything that will increase the potassium content in your blood.

Aldactone is a drug which should not be taken without the consent of the doctor. You should know thoroughly about this drug if you want to consume it. If your doctor prescribes you the drug then you should first tell him your medical history and whether you have any allergies and what other medications you are taking as these are very important.
