Teva Spironolactone How to Take

Spironolactone belongs to the class of medications known as diuretics (water pills). It is used to treat edema (fluid retention) that occurs with Congestive Heart Failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and nephrotic syndrome. It is also used to treat high blood pressure and to diagnose and treat primary hyperaldosteronism (a condition where too much aldosterone is produced by the adrenal glands).

Spironolactone can also be used to treat or prevent hypokalemia (too little potassium in the body) when other methods are not appropriate. Spironolactone works by making the body lose excess water and salt but reduces the loss of potassium from the body.

Teva Spironolactone may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Teva Spironolactone may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Teva Spironolactone may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Teva Spironolactone for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Teva Spironolactone, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Teva Spironolactone without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Teva Spironolactone to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Teva Spironolactone if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Teva Spironolactone Dosage

The recommended dose of spironolactone for adults ranges from 25 mg to 400 mg daily depending on the condition being treated. It may be taken in single or divided doses.

For children with edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or nephrotic syndrome, the daily dose is based on body weight and is given in single or divided doses.

Since Teva Spironolactone increases urine output, it is better to take it early in the day (with breakfast if you are taking a once-daily dose, or with breakfast and lunch if you are taking divided doses). Spironolactone may be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take the medication with food.

If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
