How can Aldactone (Spironolactone) improve your quality of life?
High blood pressure is a serious health condition, if left untreated, will cause damage to other vital organs of the body, such as the heart, kidneys and brain. Congestive heart failure is a disease that derives directly from untreated high blood pressure. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which your heart can not pump enough blood to other organs. Although the failing heart continues to work, not pumping properly. People with CHF cannot make efforts and to run out of air and breath with minimal physical activity.
Because the flow of blood from the heart decreases, blood returning to the heart goes back, causing congestion on its tissues. Often, this condition can be seen through the swelling (edema) of your ankles and legs. When you lie, congestion may occur in the lungs, causing shortness of breath. The ICC also affects your kidneys. In this condition, your kidneys retain salt and water, and the retained liquid increased swelling in different parts of your body.
Aldactone is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing high blood pressure and treat congestive heart failure. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretics marketed in the United States under the name Aldactone. Aldactone prevents your body from absorbing too much salt and fluids and regulates the levels of potassium in your blood.
People with CHF have a condition in which your kidneys retain abnormal amounts of salt and fluids due to the increase in the level of a hormone called aldosterone, produced by the adrenal glands. Aldactone inhibits the production and action of aldosterone causes the kidneys to excrete salt and fluids through urine, while retaining the necessary potassium.
Currently, Aldactone is the most effective drug in the market for the treatment of CHF and to reduce diseases related to high blood pressure. The recommended dose of Aldactone daily use is 100 mg and should be given one tablet per day up to 18:00 hours with a full glass of water.
