Medicine information
Uses & overview
S LACTONE 25 Tablets are a pharmaceutical formulation from Steris Healthcare, containing Spironolactone 25 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 causes the body to retain sodium and water. By reducing aldosterone activity, Spironolactone promotes the removal of excess sodium and water while helping to reduce potassium loss. S LACTONE 25 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 doctor's assessment. The appropriate dosage and treatment duration should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.
How to use
Take S LACTONE 25 Tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with sufficient water. 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.
Storage
