Description

Spironolactone contains the active ingredient spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic and anti-androgen. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as heart failure, hypertension, certain types of edema, and hyperaldosteronism. It has additional off-label uses for hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and acne due to its anti-androgen effects. Spironolactone helps eliminate excess fluid from the body without causing potassium loss and blocks the action of male hormones that can contribute to conditions like hirsutism and acne.
