Spironolactone is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. It is also sometimes used off-label to treat hormonal acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women.
As a potassium-sparing diuretic, spironolactone works by blocking the effects of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates salt and water balance in the body. By blocking aldosterone, spironolactone promotes the excretion of sodium and water while conserving potassium
