Dydroton 25 mg contains spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic used to treat conditions associated with fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for regulating salt and water balance, thereby helping the body eliminate excess fluid while retaining potassium.
Dydroton is commonly used in the management of heart failure, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, and primary hyperaldosteronism. It is also sometimes prescribed for treating acne, hirsutism, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) due to its anti-androgenic effects.
