SPIROCARD 25 MG is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and hyperaldosteronism. It works by reducing fluid retention in the body, improving blood pressure control, and helping the heart function more efficiently. This medication acts as a potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist, which means it helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water while preserving potassium, an essential electrolyte for heart health.
Pharmacology:
SPIROCARD 25 MG contains Spironolactone, which is a potassium-sparing diuretic and an aldosterone antagonist. Spironolactone inhibits the action of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water. By blocking aldosterone, it helps reduce fluid buildup in the body, which is common in conditions like heart failure and hypertension. At the same time, Spironolactone prevents the loss of potassium, which is important for proper heart function, thus improving overall cardiovascular health.
Dosage:
-
For hypertension, the usual dose is 25 mg to 100 mg per day, divided into one or more doses, as directed by the doctor.
-
For heart failure, the dose can range from 12.5 mg to 50 mg daily, depending on the severity of the condition.
-
For hyperaldosteronism, the typical dosage is 25 mg to 100 mg daily, adjusted based on the patient's needs and response to the treatment.
-
Always follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding the dose and frequency.
Administration:
-
Take SPIROCARD 25 MG orally with or without food.
-
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet, as it may affect how the medication works.
-
Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
Interaction:
-
SPIROCARD 25 MG may interact with other medications that affect potassium levels, such as potassium supplements, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), leading to hyperkalemia (high potassium levels).
-
Caution should be exercised when using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as they may reduce the effectiveness of this medication.
-
Always inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medicines and herbal supplements.
Contraindications:
-
SPIROCARD 25 MG is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney impairment, high potassium levels (hyperkalemia), or Addison’s disease.
-
It should not be used by individuals who are allergic to Spironolactone or any of its components.
-
Caution should be used in patients with a history of liver disease, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of SPIROCARD 25 MG may include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal issues (such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea), and fatigue. Serious side effects can include hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), irregular heartbeat, or severe allergic reactions. If you experience symptoms like muscle weakness, heart palpitations, or swelling of the face/throat, seek immediate medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
-
Pregnancy: SPIROCARD 25 MG should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. It is classified as a category C drug during pregnancy, meaning it could pose risks to the fetus.
-
Lactation: Spironolactone is excreted into breast milk. It is generally not recommended during breastfeeding, and you should consult your healthcare provider before taking SPIROCARD 25 MG while nursing.
