Are Spironolact And Spironolactone The Same Drug

What is the differants can you take both at the same time ## Hello, Theresa! How are you? They are both used to help remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions such as edema, high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, but they work in different ways. Torsemide also often forces potassium out of the body, so when someone's potassium is low or if they don't hold normal levels of it, the Spironolactone might be prescribed instead, since it tends to help the body hold on to potassium. And no, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so, you shouldn't take both at the same time, because that could create the risk of severe dehydration and kidney damage. Side effects to these medications may include nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urinat...

Is this medicine the same as or generic for Prazosin Hcl 2 mg Caps? ## No, they are two very different medications. Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic that acts on androgen in the body.

But Prazosin is a sympatholytic that's used to treat high blood pressure and anxiety. Learn more Prazosin details here. Which one has been prescribed for you?

I have celiac and started taking spironolactone by amneal pharma, but i am not feeling well on it. Can you tell me if it is gluten free? ## Spironolactone by Amneal (50mg) totally "glutened" me. Amneal told me that it does not contain gluten - but I'm guessing there is some cross contamination or an ingredient from another supplier that has hidden gluten. I went off it and felt better. I tried it again this last week and had the same bad effects identical to when I eat gluten...I am going to ask my Dr. to prescribe another manufacturer and see if I have better luck. ## What brand /manufacturer of spirinolaxtone 100mg tablets is completely gluten free? ## From what I could gather, the inactive ingredients tend to vary from tablet to tablet (and are always subject to change), ...

Are they the same? ## Hi Patti, Both of the pills in question are one in the same drug. The only difference I noticed is that they are manufactured by different companies.

I heard triamtere was no longer being made. Is this so? I take triamterene 37.5/25. Is this still available? Works well for me. ## It works well for me too. My pharmacist just told me the same thing and I cannot find out why. ## There had been an unexplained shortage of this medication reported to the FDA and it was reported by all current manufacturers. They did estimate that it would start being available, again, by the end of April, but this seems not to have happened. The only thing that I can suggest would be talking to your doctor about using an alternative medication. One that is very similar is Aldactazide, which contains Spironolactone and Hydrochlorothiazide: Are there any other questions or comments? ## I have Bi-polar disorder and Major Depressive Disorder - Spironolactone d...

I have a small, white, round pill with m 145 imprinted on it. 'm' and '145' are each on their own line, but on same side. Any identification for it would be great. ## That last digit is actually meant to be a 6 but it is hard to see, this is Spironolactone 25mgs, a diuretic.

Round and White, had GG on top on line and 85 under. Nothing on back. ## Found In House, don't know what it is. ## it may be aldactone, i also have GG over a scored white pill with 85 on the bottom, i picked them up at a different pharmacy and put them in the same bottle as my aldactone [which says it all to me] ## Whims is correct, this tablet contains 25mgs of Spironolactone, a generic for Aldactone. This is a diuretic, commonly used to high blood pressure and heart failure. Common side effects include: nausea, dizziness, stomach bleeding and headache.

I take Kcl 10 ME to replenish K loss from a water pill. It is costly. Can I get the same replenishment from dietary Kcl such as as is used to replace Nacl? ## Over the counter supplements are only allowed to max out at 99mgs of Potassium, so you may need to take several to keep it up that way. Learn more Potassium details here. We always have trouble keeping mine up, so we actually switched me to a potassium sparing diuretic, Spironolactone. Learn more Spironolactone details here. You might want to ask your doctor about trying it, instead.

I cannot find a coupon for Chlorthalid 23mg tab. This is the name as spelled on my prescription bottle. I'm paying Walmart $49.95 for 90 tablets, is there a coupon for this medication. I need an answer so will leave email address ## Hello, Nancy! How are you? No, I'm sorry, but since this a generic medication, there are no coupons or assistance programs available. However, there are other diuretics available that are much cheaper, so it might be best to ask your doctor about prescribing an alternative. Spironolactone and Hydrochlorothiazide are both usually cheaper and treat the same conditions. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dehydration. Is there anything else I can help with?
