Verospilactone
Veroshpilakton, containing the active ingredient Spironolactone, is a potassium-sparing diuretic primarily used to treat hypertension and edema associated with heart failure. It works by blocking aldosterone, a hormone responsible for fluid retention, thereby promoting the excretion of excess fluids while maintaining potassium levels. This medication is commonly prescribed for conditions where fluid retention is a concern, such as in patients with liver cirrhosis or nephrotic syndrome. Available in convenient capsule form, it allows for straightforward administration and dosage control. Veroshpilakton is recognized for its effectiveness in reducing high blood pressure and minimizing the risk of associated cardiovascular complications. Always ensure to follow the recommended dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.Active substance:
