Aldactone description and Aldactone side effects
Aldactone was used almost exclusively during the last week before a competition.
Since this causes neither a dramatic nor an immediately noticeable
draining effect, spironolactone is usually taken over 5-6 days in a
dosage of 2 tablets of 50 mg daily. Aldactone
(spironolactone/hydrochlorthiazide) should not be used to expediently
drain water at the last minute. Both male and female athletes take
Aldactone. The side effects of potassium-saving diuretics are
relatively low compared to thiazides and furosemides. The main problems
in men who take this substance consist of gynecomastia and possible
impotence. Other side effects of Aldactone (spironolactone) can be low
blood pressure, muscle spasms, dizziness, gastrointestinal pain,
vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and fatigue. It is important to note
that there is Ii', sigiuficant increase in the serum potassium level
(see above). Aldactone is a diuretic and it belongs
to the subgroup of potassium-sparing diuretics. Spironolactone is an
aldosterone antagonist. Spironolactone influences the body's own
hormone, aldosterone, which accelerates the excretion of potassium and
reduces the excretion of sodium and water Simplified, aldosterone
regulates the endogenous water household. The higher the aldosterone
level, the more water is stored in the body. The use of results in a
significant reduction in the aldosterone level so that an increased
excretion of sodium and water occurs while, at the same time, potassium
is reabsorbed. This also explains why the substance is called a
potassium-sparing diuretic since spironolactone does not cause a loss
of potassium like thiazides and furosemides.
Optimal dosage of Aldactone
Athletes must strictly observe
that during the use of Aldactone no additional potassium is taken since
this would cause a life-threatening increase in the serum potassium
level. Lotassiumsparing diuretics have relatively low diuretic effects
so that Aldactone can be called a mild diuretic. It is interesting to
note that Aldactone is also an antiandrogen since it
reduces the androgen level. Female athletes take advantage of
spironolactone characteristic by using it to minimize the virilization
symptoms during steroid treatment or the symptoms after treatment. For
this purpose spironolactone is normally taken daily for 10 to 14 days,
ustially in a dose of 50 mg/day. In men this could cause problems since
the relationship of the androgen level to the estrogen level changes in
favor of the latter. Thus, common side effects of Aldactone in men
include pain in the nipples and breast swelling (gynecomastia).
Different types of Aldactone
