Aldactone vs Lasix
 | Aldactone |  | Lasix |  |
| Spironolactone is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used to treat swelling (edema) caused by certain conditions (e.g., congestive heart failure) by removing excess fluid and improving symptoms such as breathing problems. This medication is also used to treat low potassium levels and conditions in which the body is making too much of a natural chemical (aldosterone). Spironolactone is known as a "water pill" (potassium-sparing diuretic). | Furosemide is used to reduce extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in your arms, legs, and abdomen. | |||

| Add Aldactone review I was prescribed this for acne that followed me from adolesence into adulthood. I'm now 42 and have been on aldactone for almost 2 years. My skin cleared within a month and I have cut back to just one a day. My concern is that my naturally fine hair, now seems to be getting thinner. I wonder if this is due to the medication. Has anyone else had this issue? I think I may break from it for a few months to see if there's a change. On drug 3 months odd for acne only (doctor prescribed). Have seen no improvement. Today I had a juice in the morning pre tablet with some spinach added at the end. I went for my walk and felt really nauseous then vomited twice on my walk - the second time down to the bile. As meds increase potassium and spinach is high in potassium - suspect this casued the problem. As my acne is mild though so as no improvemebt, I like spinaqch, and Ive read the lists of side effects - I think I'll stop and put up with the acne | Add Lasix review have just begun taking Lasix ( five days), and have already lost five pounds. Getting used to using the bathroom every 1 or 2 hours... Could this drug possibly be related to ED? edema in feet and ankles during flight from PDX to LAX and ensuing cruise to Panama Canal.Bought LASIX in Puerto Vallarta, MX. took 1 - 40 mg pill each afternoon. Lots of urination - seemed to work. | |||
