- Spironolactone provides significant advantages to those with heart failure as well as fluid retention from liver cirrhosis and kidney disease. Spironolactone may reduce the likelihood of death from any cause and from heart disease by nearly 30% especially among those where the heart pumps less than 35-40% of blood filling the left ventricle. Experts assume spironolactone also benefits those with less serious degrees of heart failure.
Spironolactone, originally thought of only as a potassium sparing diuretic, also counteracts the action of male hormone. This basically limits its chronic use to women but opens new therapeutic vistas. Spironolactone combats acne, reduces excessive scalp hair loss common in middle aged women and even diminishes unwanted terminal hair from the face, body and arms.
Spironolactone elevates blood potassium especially when kidney malfunction exists; caution is required as too much potassium may lead to cardiac issues. Spironolactone regularly leads to enlargement and tenderness of the breast in both men and women. This is a dose and time dependent phenomenon generally reversible several months after discontinuing the drug. Spironolactone also causes menstrual irregularities and excessive uterine bleeding. Pregnancy should be avoided while on therapy.
You are so informative and have one of the best channels on CZcams. A very well studied and highly intelligent man. Thank you for all that you do. You deserve so many more subscribers. I think something must be up with the algorithms. Your channel deserves to reach more potential subscribers. 😊👍

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION Doctor. Thank you, my GP was totally unaware of most of the information you provided.
Easy to understand and widely informative. Recommend to any patient or student.
Thankyou!
Thank you Doctor. I did not know.
You are amazing!😊
Thanks Doctor Landow, one on eplerenone would be great.
I like this guy, straight to the point lots of info. subscribed. I just started taking 25mg spironolactone like a week ago for heart failure. Seems to be working well so far at least the diuretic effect is working well.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I sat and watched the whole thing. But i would love for you to have a larger audience, I recommend you work on your thumbnail so more viewers can click on your videos, and also have detailed hashtags on your title. thank you again.
Great review of the drug, though I wish you explained more about using spironolactone in heart failure.
Well I’m on it,plus dapaglifloxin newly I’m not diabetic
Thank you doctor
Best upload on the drug Spironolactone 💟❣
I would love to understand gout.
This was a very helpful video btw! My androgens sky rocketed after coming off birth control with post menopausal range of progesterone in my twenties. I think my adrenals became overworked as the backup system. Since steroids are serving a purpose and keeping my bp from dropping too low I’m still hesitant to take it. I just hate the androgenic hair growth etc. no pcos found on ultrasound. Period normal etc.
WOW, most knowledgeable Dr. I have ever heard ❣️THANK YOU, I learned so much. SUBSCRIBED ❣️👏 I may try this low dose as prescribed by my Cardiologist for heart failure but I am kind of concerned about the effect it has on kidneys.
DO YOU EVER ANSWER COMMENTS? 😊
He’s passed
I was prescribed this for hair loss with minoxidil
For a 85 year old woman with NO heart failure or serious heart problem, doctor has given Amlopres-5 (Cipla) half a pill in the morning and Spironolactone 25 mg one at noon, for high blood pressure. Not sure if she is a good candidate for Spironolactone specially with its side effects. Also should there be tests for kidneys, liver and potassium after taking this medicine for a few weeks. Also she takes multivitamins that has potassium.
Can Lisinopril 10mg be combined with Spironolactone 25mg ?
For a 70yr old with heart and kidney problems. My Uncles doctor prescribed this but the local pharmacist thinks it is dangerous
Put on 200 mg after coming out of hospital .,worked for odema but seriously vomiting so shall see doctor as I can't live with the sickness .Shall see about cutting down
Good info, and explains why, as a 76yo heart patient, my saggy -manboobs have become rather sensitive...and maybe even larger. My sisters are jealous of me now! lol.
I was given this for PCOS.. I have all the symptoms but it doesn’t show in my blood work. I got off of it made me thirsty as heck
I think a chemical specialists animation when you make certain comments more educational.
These young ones learn from visual stimulation more now than ever.
There are programs for your computer to do what i spoke about above.
I wish you the best Doctor.
What is a good Bp med for high Bp caused by anxiety disorder? I was given spiro for this but didn’t work well.
I am male by the way
@@MM-lu6sh A beta blocker 100%
Can be used for Male pattern baldness...
Only females
Dr. My friend is transgender and takes Spironolactone for their transition... and it has helped with a previous burning sensation up and down her back and cold feeling pain in her legs. Also eliminates her tremors and bubbly feeling in her lower back.
What does this mean?
I’ve read a study on it where it cured people from chonic diseases. Can’t fint much about it tho
Supposedly it suppresses epstein barr virus which is the cause for some chronic conditions
@@MK-co6uf really? I just started it and have never heard of this theory. That’s amazing. I have chronic Epstein Barr but I am on it for female hair loss at a young age.
@@PandaA-cv3mm how it works for your hair?
It means that your friend should learn to love themselves as they were created and work towards a positive body image then to hate themselves enough to want to change into a gender that they will never be. Hope they seek the mental help they need. Wishing your friend the best
One thing I didn’t understand
Progesterone produce water retention in the second half of menstrual cycle and the same progesterone has the sodium lowering effect..! Then how come a sodium lowering compound can cause water retention ?
@8:02 🤷🏻♀️
Can this drug cause kidney damage?
Yes …. That why your dr should follow up with blood tests
Psoriasis, now it makes sense. No other problems.
I take it for PCOS.
Do you find it useful? Does it help with body hair?
@@sisino4471 not at all get off of it
@@Deetrim You have to take if for months before it helps. It helps get rid of bloating, drink plenty of fluids.
?
Dihydrotestosterone... There is a joke. ;)
