Aldactazide 25mg / 25mg Tablet

Aldactazide 25mg / 25mg Tablet contains Spironolactone + Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg/25mg, a combination of a potassium-sparing diuretic and a thiazide diuretic. Made by Searle Company Limited, it is prescribed for high blood pressure, oedema, heart failure, liver cirrhosis with fluid retention and nephrotic syndrome. Pack size: 25 tablets.

Uses of Aldactazide 25mg / 25mg Tablet

Aldactazide 25mg / 25mg Tablet is a water tablet used to remove excess fluid from the body. It is prescribed for swelling (oedema) caused by heart failure, liver cirrhosis or kidney conditions such as nephrotic syndrome, and for high blood pressure. Using two diuretics together gives effective fluid loss while helping to keep the body’s potassium level more balanced than a thiazide alone would.

How Aldactazide 25mg / 25mg Tablet works

Hydrochlorothiazide makes the kidneys pass more salt and water, which reduces swelling and lowers blood pressure. Spironolactone blocks the hormone aldosterone, adding to the fluid loss while helping the body hold on to potassium that would otherwise be lost in the urine.

Aldactazide 25mg / 25mg Tablet is generally well tolerated, although some people notice:
