How Spironolactone Works

Spironolactone acts as an aldosterone antagonist. Aldosterone is a hormone that increases sodium and water retention while promoting potassium loss.

Mechanism of action:

• Blocks aldosterone receptors in kidneys
• Reduces sodium and water retention
• Prevents potassium depletion
• Helps remove excess fluid from the body
• Reduces blood pressure and swelling

Additionally, spironolactone has anti-androgen properties, meaning it reduces the effect of male hormones, which can help in conditions like acne and excess hair growth in women.
