Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of MiniLactone Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

MiniLactone Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to produce a diuretic effect:

Spironolactone (25 mg): This is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It functions as an aldosterone antagonist, which means it blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium excretion. By counteracting aldosterone, spironolactone helps reduce fluid retention while preventing excessive loss of potassium.
Frusemide (20 mg): This is a loop diuretic. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidney tubules, leading to increased urine output. This, in turn, helps to reduce fluid retention in your body.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking MiniLactone Tablet if you are pregnant. It may affect foetal development, especially in the second and third trimesters. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
