Спиронолактон

Spironolactone, sold under the brand name Aldactone among others, is classed as a diuretic medication. It can be used to treat fluid build-up due to liver disease or kidney disease. It is also used to reduce risk of disease progression, hospitalization, and death due to some types of heart failure. Other uses include acne and excessive hair growth in women, low blood potassium that does not improve with supplementation, high blood pressure that is difficult to treat, and early puberty in boys. It is also used to block the effects of testosterone as a part of feminizing hormone therapy. Spironolactone is usually available in tablets, taken by mouth, though topical forms are also available.
