Description

• Edema: Aldactone treats fluid retention caused by conditions like liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, and kidney disorders.

• Hypokalemia: It prevents or treats low potassium levels in the body, especially in patients on diuretics that cause potassium loss.

Dosage and Administration:
