Aldactone T 5MG Tab

Tablet

Treatment of edema (fluid retention) associated with heart failure, liver cirrhosis or kidney disease; used as a diuretic combination for resistant edema and to help control blood pressure in some patients as advised by doctor.

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.

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Usually taken orally once daily in the morning (to reduce night-time urination), with or without food; take with food if it upsets your stomach. Do not stop or change dose without medical advice; monitor weight, blood pressure and electrolytes as advised.

Increased urination, dizziness, low blood pressure, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, headache, muscle cramps, electrolyte imbalance (low sodium, high/low potassium), weakness, increased uric acid, breast tenderness/gynecomastia (spironolactone)

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.

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).

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from moisture and light. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.
