Medicine information
Uses & overview
S LACTONE 50 Tablets are a pharmaceutical formulation from Steris Healthcare, containing Spironolactone 50 mg as the active ingredient. Spironolactone belongs to a class of medicines known as potassium-sparing diuretics and aldosterone antagonists. It works by blocking the effects of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes sodium and water retention. By reducing aldosterone activity, Spironolactone helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water while limiting potassium loss. S LACTONE 50 may be prescribed for conditions such as edema associated with heart failure, certain liver or kidney disorders, hypertension, and hyperaldosteronism, depending on the patient's medical condition and healthcare professional's assessment. The appropriate dosage and treatment duration should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
How to use

It may generally be taken with or without food, but take it consistently in relation to meals. Take the medicine at the recommended time each day. Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your healthcare professional. Your doctor may monitor blood pressure, kidney function, potassium, and other electrolyte levels during treatment.
