How Aldactone T 5 mg Tablet works

Torasemide is a loop diuretic that increases salt and water excretion from the kidneys, reducing fluid overload. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic (aldosterone antagonist) that helps remove excess fluid while conserving potassium and counteracting aldosterone-related fluid retention.

Safety advice for Aldactone T 5 mg Tablet

Warnings and precautions

May cause dehydration, low blood pressure and electrolyte disturbances; periodic monitoring of serum potassium, sodium and kidney function is required. Risk of hyperkalemia is higher in kidney disease, diabetes, elderly, and when used with ACE inhibitors/ARBs or potassium supplements. Use caution in severe kidney impairment/anuria and in severe liver disease; may worsen gout (raises uric acid). Can cause dizziness—avoid driving if affected.

Interactions with other medicines

ACE inhibitors/ARBs (enalapril, ramipril, losartan) and aliskiren (hyperkalemia), potassium supplements/salt substitutes and other potassium-sparing diuretics (hyperkalemia), NSAIDs (ibuprofen/diclofenac) may reduce diuretic effect and worsen kidney function, lithium (increased lithium toxicity), digoxin (electrolyte changes increase arrhythmia risk), corticosteroids/laxatives (increase hypokalemia risk with loop diuretic), other antihypertensives (additive low BP).
