Drug Uses
Aldactone is in a class of drugs called potassium sparing diuretics (water pill). It reduces the amount of fluid in the body without causing the loss of potassium.

How Taken
Aldactone comes as a pill to take orally. The general dosage is a pill a day, taken in the morning with food intake or taken 2 times a day with breakfast and lunch. This drug does not treat, it only controls blood pressure levels, therefore, continue taking Aldactone even if you feel better. Do not stop taking Aldactone without your physician`s advice.
