Introduction About ALDACTONE 50MG TABLET
ALDACTONE 50MG TABLET contains Spironolactone which belongs to the group of medicines called Diuretics. It is used to manage fluid accumulation in the tissues due to heart disorders and in the abdominal cavity, severe heart failure (NYHA III-IV), and certain kidney disorders.
