💊 Aldactone 25mg Tablet
Aldactone 25mg Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Spironolactone 25mg, an aldosterone antagonist and potassium-sparing diuretic. It is prescribed to treat heart failure, high blood pressure, fluid retention (edema) associated with liver, kidney, or heart disease, and hypokalemia (low potassium levels).
Spironolactone works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for retaining salt and water in the body. This helps eliminate excess fluid while conserving potassium, reducing swelling, improving heart function, and lowering blood pressure. It is commonly used alone or with other medicines for long-term cardiovascular management.

⚙️ How It Works
