Aldactone T 10 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Aldactone T 10 Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients that work together to manage oedema and high blood pressure:

• Spironolactone (50 mg): This is a potassium-sparing diuretic, which means it helps your body get rid of excess water and sodium while preventing too much potassium from being lost. It does this by blocking the effects of a hormone called aldosterone in a part of your kidneys called the distal renal tubules.

• Torsemide (10 mg): This ingredient is a loop diuretic. It works on a part of your kidneys known as the loop of Henle, preventing the reabsorption of sodium and chloride. This action prompts your kidneys to get rid of more water, sodium, chloride, and other substances through your urine.

Together, these two ingredients increase urine production and reduce excess fluid in your body. Spironolactone's ability to spare potassium helps balance the loss of potassium that can occur with torsemide.

• Store Aldactone T 10 Tablet 15 at normal room temperature.

• Keep the medicine away from direct light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Ensure the medicine is stored in a place inaccessible to children and pets for safety.

• Always check the expiry date printed on the package and make sure to use it before this date.

• Limit your salt intake: Since Aldactone T 10 Tablet 15 is used to manage high blood pressure and fluid retention, cutting down on salt can help control these conditions.

• Stay hydrated but avoid excessive fluids: The medicine increases urination to reduce fluid overload. Therefore, maintaining a balance is essential. Drink enough water to prevent dehydration but avoid drinking excessively as it could worsen fluid retention. Always consult your doctor for personalised advice.
