Aldactone, whose generic name is spironolactone, is primarily used as a diuretic to treat conditions like hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema (fluid retention) associated with heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disorders. It also acts as an aldosterone antagonist, making it useful in managing conditions like hyperaldosteronism. Additionally, it is sometimes used off-label to treat hormonal acne and hirsutism in women due to its anti-androgen effects.
