Aldactazide

Aldactazide is a combination medication that contains spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema) associated with conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and nephrotic syndrome. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, while hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic. Together, they work to reduce excess fluid in the body while helping to maintain potassium levels.

Are there any dietary restrictions while taking Aldactazide?

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Aldactazide Work?

  • Spironolactone: Acts as an aldosterone antagonist, inhibiting the effects of aldosterone in the kidneys, which helps to retain potassium and excrete sodium and water.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide: Inhibits sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, leading to increased excretion of sodium and water, which helps reduce blood volume and lower blood pressure.


Common Dosages

  • Tablets: 100 mg spironolactone and 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide

Typical Dosing

  • The typical dosing for Aldactazide is usually one tablet taken orally once daily, with adjustments made based on the patient's response and blood pressure levels.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Hypertension
  • Edema associated with heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or nephrotic syndrome


Who Shouldn't Take Aldactazide?

  • Known hypersensitivity to spironolactone, hydrochlorothiazide, or any components of the formulation
  • Anuria (inability to urinate)
  • Severe renal impairment
  • Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels)


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Aldactazide exactly as prescribed, preferably in the morning to avoid nighttime urination.
  • Monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any significant changes to your healthcare provider.
  • Be aware of signs of electrolyte imbalances, such as muscle cramps, weakness, or irregular heartbeats, and report these to your healthcare provider.
  • Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are taking, as Aldactazide can interact with various drugs.


Side Effects of Aldactazide

Common Side Effects

  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Increased urination


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels)
  • Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling)
  • Electrolyte imbalances (low sodium, low magnesium)


Risks and Warnings of Aldactazide

  • Electrolyte Monitoring: Regular monitoring of potassium and other electrolyte levels is important to prevent complications associated with diuretic therapy.
  • Renal Function: Kidney function should be monitored, particularly in patients with existing renal impairment.
  • Hydration: Maintain adequate hydration to prevent dehydration and hypotension.


Interactions with Aldactazide

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other Diuretics: Concurrent use with other diuretics may increase the risk of electrolyte imbalances.
  • Potassium Supplements: Use of potassium supplements or potassium-sparing medications should be monitored to avoid hyperkalemia.
  • NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce the diuretic effect and can affect renal function when used with Aldactazide.


Alternatives to Aldactazide

  • Other Antihypertensives: Such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or calcium channel blockers may be used for hypertension management.
  • Other Diuretics: Such as furosemide or torsemide, may be considered for fluid retention.
