What is Spironolactone used for?
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing medication used as a diuretic medication for heart failure, liver disease and high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. However, it has also been found useful for hirsutism, acne and seborrhoea because it has anti-androgenic properties.
How to take Spironolactone
The dose of spironolactone is usually slowly increased from 50 to 200 mg daily, taken at night. It may take six or more months to see improvement in the skin condition.
Side effects of Spironolactone
Side effects of spironolactone may include nausea, diarrhoea, drowsiness (possibly due to high blood potassium levels), headache, menstrual cycle irregularities including increased frequency of menstruation, bleeding in the middle of the month or stopping periods altogether (amenorrhoea).
Precautions when taking Spironolactone
Before taking spironolactone, tell your doctor if you are allergic to spironolactone or hydrochlorothiazide, and what prescription or nonprescription drugs you are currently taking. This includes potassium supplements and ACE inhibitor medications such as Vasotec. Let your doctor know if you have or have ever had liver or kidney disease, if you are having difficulty urinating or are unable to urinate or if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking spironolactone, call your doctor right away.
