#Spironolactone #Aldactone
Hello.. My husbands blood pressure right now is 86/59..He has a congestive heart failure.. Is spironolactone safe to take?
Very good question and tricky to answer.Since I don't know your husbands specific medical history as well as his other medications I will attempt to give a general answer.The question to ask is what is causing the lower blood pressure.1)It could be a side effect of a medication.I would assume your husband is on several, so other medications could be contributing to this.2) Secondly there are individuals with advancing heart failure where the blood pressure is low and this makes it challenging for your Doctor to manage. Most patients with HF tolerate medical treatment despite low BP measurements. When a dose is initiated in the first couple of hours there will be a drop in the blood pressure.Once the HF is better controlled these initial symptoms should improve.The important question to ask is if your husband is tolerating the medication(medications) and he does to have symptoms affecting his functionality such as dizziness, feeling faint, falls.Typically with heart failure patients in your very specific category you want to keep the BP above 80 mmHg. If the blood pressure is lower than 80mm Hg it becomes increasingly challenging.The other thing you can do is to talk to your Doctor and ask about spacing out the medications ( that is the time & dosing of the medications) to help combat lower blood pressure.The third is trying to figure if the dose of Spironolactone is correct.Sometimes if dosed to high, this leads to increased loss of fluid, decreasing BP and "contracting the volume of fluid" in the body.So in summary: the first thing to figure out is why the blood pressure is low and as mentioned above the most common causes are 1) side effects of meds 2) advanced heart failure 3) dehydration secondary to higher doses of meds 4) less common would be arrhythmias and CAD 5) or even infection.
I have hormones problems I have more msle hormone them women and it's causing me to have lots of facial hair my question imma woman I don't want all this hair so will this drug help me get my hormone levels where they should be ?please give me some advice...I'm a woman I don't want to have a hormone issue .I also have high blood pressure I take meds fir..

Thanks for watching! Happy you could check this video out!
Thank you so much for making it clear to me because Iam taking it now for my heart problem🙏
Hello doctor
Should I take 200mg or 100mg of spironolactone to treat hirsutism.
Nice
Are you on Spironolactone? What was your experience? Was it effective or did you have any side effects?
I have hyperaldosteronism, also known as Conn's syndrome, and have been on spironolactone for several years. My dosage is 12.5 mg daily. I have to cut a 25 mg pill in half. Before taking the drug, my BP was 150/90 with three types of blood pressure medications and my potassium was under 3 at times resulting in hospitalizations. Now with only a beta blocker, my BP is 110/70 and my potassium is normal. The only side affect I notice is I am growing some hair back.
@@markdichter Thanks for sharing your experience, in particular in context with Conn Syndrome.
@@ThinkYourHealth I forgot to say that the Conn Syndrome is caused by an aldosterone producing benign tumor on my right adrenal gland and the spironolactone is a better solution than surgery to remove the adrenal gland.
I’m about to be prescribed Spironolactone for my acne and hirsutism. Do you think it really works for hair growth?
I'm taking it for adult female acne. It was the first approach for me recommended by my derno
Hello Dr, Can you do one video for .... Title: which is better staying on tablets or removal of prostate (enlarged)
Thank you for your suggestion.
@@ThinkYourHealth Thanks Dr, I am 54, I was told recently that I have enlarged prostrate which is causing problem with urine flow, I have a private medical insurance currently I was thinking whether I can ask them to remove the prostrate rather than staying on tablets, since I am Type 2 diabetic it will be better to have an operation early. please include this content in the video if you are interested.
I had high BP and hormonal acne. Im on spironolactone and now My BP is normal and my face and back are soft and smooth as baby skin.
Hi Hallie! I just started taking Spiro a couple days ago. I was just curious as to how long it took for you to see results?

With acne and also to lower my blood pressure which is a bit high right now, has any male in here taken it? And if so, what was your experience with it?
Thank you so much for this video
No need to worry sir, just drink plenty of fresh water ie. 2-3 litres a day. If you have side effects then get your blood test done.
Hi doctor! I hope you're doing good... A page on Google said it caused tumors in some animals! Please tell me can it be a factor for tumor?

Hi! I was recently prescribed this medicine for acne about 2-3 weeks ago and I have been breaking out more. My acne was never bad, I would have a couple pimples here and there but ever since taking this medicine I have more acne than I have ever had before. Is it one of those things that I have to wait out and it gets worse before it gets better and it’s just getting everything out of my pores?
same here 😳
Thank you for this very informative video! I just started taking the aldactone 50 mg to treat excess testosterone...and I usually have a lower blood pressure around 70 and once 55...is it safe for me to take this medication?
Same here. Have u seen any difference still after having the medication?
seek medical advice as could lower your blood pressure even more dangerous levels
Does it cause weight gain ? Because some women claimed it did even though weight gain isn’t listed as a side effect when using Spironolactone.
I gained a lot of weight within the first three months. I quit taking it after 4 months when my skin got leathery
Hi doctor ... is this medicine gave permanent result on hairfall and acne?
I hv pcos nd doctor prescribed me this. That was realy helpfull but after stop taking spironolactone my condition or symptoms again came. Hairfall even worse than before.

I just started two weeks ago for acne. I really hate having to be on medication/ deal with side effects, but my skin is so bad and this seems less severe than other medications.
did this ever help with your hormonal acne ?
@@alyssarailynxoxo unfortunatley i stopped taking it pretty early on cause it was causing me daily migrains and nausea. I happen to be very sensitive to medications though and you might have better luck. Ive heard it works wonders for a lot of people and most have minimal to no side effects. It didbt work out for me but i still think its worth trying if you can.
Wait 2 more weeks and you'll se your acne disappear. These side effects are rare. I've been taking it for years. I love it! No side effects at all.
NEVER TAKE WITHOUT FOOD. I felt violently ill .
To make sure i understand you, i can take spironolactone 25mg along with vitamin d3 5,000 units and magnesium glycinate 200mg? (I have a vitamin D deficiency right now)
Hey m also suffering from vit d deficiency..my hair stopped falling when I started this drug then after 2 months started again..love u know ur experience

This video helped a lot. Thanks
You're welcome!
I gained weight, period became irregular, was INTENSELY TIRED-could fall asleep anywhere/anytime, and my boobs grew( I did not like this at all)
I have been taking spironolactone but I don’t pee more as suggested should I take more potassium am taking it for my acne(hormonal imbalances)
Spironolactone actually increases your potassium level.Check with your Doctor if you are doing so.
I m glad I found this channel. You talk about side effects and interactions.
I m being prescribed half the dose yesterday by the cardiologist. He didn’t tell me to reduce the intake of potassium rich food .
Does this medicine has more side effects like tumors cancers
Is there any other medication in lieu of this one with less side effects
Ty
I read that it has caused tumors in animals but it made it sound like there are no cases in humans yet
Do not take this junk
Dr suggested I try this
Very bad to take diuretics..
Body needs salt and water.. Cannot live without salt and water
Reading all the side affects ..I sure want to put that crap into my temple. 😱😱😱😱
Forgive my use of the Word "CRAP"
I rarely speak like this..
The drugs they push ..I have yo ask them..the Dr.'s if they really have read what they are suggesting..??
No way..I will keep my BP and continue seeking natural ...taking Nitric Oxide 3x a says it can take a while to see BP drop
I believe God lead me yo it..
Diuretics ard very bad and damage kidneys so if you have not a problem with kidneys you will after taking this drug
Choose wisely. Pray!!

What about muscle spasms?
nicotine and spirolactone is that ok?
I am male can I take this?
My dad 86 yrs old with Hfpef the dr put him on lasix 40mg BID but kept retaining water in his lungs also my dad known for anemia
Your Doctor is adding on Spironolactone to remove more fluid.From your above description it looks like your father has congestive heart failure. Spironolactone can help remove more water and counter act the potassium loss due to Lasix. I would assume the worsening of your father's kidney function is probably due to excessive fluid secondary to congestive heart failure.Congestive heart failure can contribute to reduced blood flow in the kidneys. Repeat blood work will help monitor kidney function as well as see if adding Spironolactone helped.
I found online that it is also used to treat male to female, transgenders... It is used to suppress their male hormones.
Yes because it is a testosterone blocker
Im trying to figure out why 3 different NP's have suggested this and recently Rx this for me, as a man.. When everything I am reading says men should NOT use this medication and that out of 18 men who were Rx this for 3 months on a 100mg to 200mg dose, 8 (almost 50%) developed gynecomastia..
Can I take it with doxycycline or is it one or the other cause I'm on both

Hi i got clinical questions that i cant get the answer till now. I was asked why in ward dr give frusemide but give spironolactone instead when discharge the patient? I knew that frusemide was to treat symptoms and faster action compared to spirono. But i was asked the benefit of it? I thought its help with reduce bp as well thats why they gave it during dc. But then they said no and its related to aldosterone?? And i still didnt get it 😢
What i know regarding aldosterone it just helps with potassium sparring 😭 but em still didnt get it why dr discharge the patient with spirono instead of frusemide ? Can you help enlighten me?
The patient was diagnosed acute anteroseptal mi killip 3. First impression was htn emergency. Thank you so much in advance!
im a guy with hormonal acne but dermatologists dont recommended men to take spironolactone what medication should i take because topical meds are not working? thank you
You can try adapalene and ask your dermotologist about tretinoin.
My daughter came off of spironolactone because of side effects, but still uses tretinoin.

I'm 67 on Spirolactone and I keep getting dehydrated and constipated. I tried electrolyte powders but there are so many out there.
Sounds like your mainly magnesium deficient ! Or just not drinking enough fluids, both low fluid intake and low mag will cause both
@@ProdByKeys Spironlactone can stop magnesium from absorbing. I'm wondering if it is also causing grey hair through this fact too 😢
Don't use general electrolyte drinks because they contain potassium. You aren't supposed to take additional potassium on this drug.
I was put on 25mg of Spiranolactone by a cardiologist who said "You're retaining water". That was when I had edema and ate a SAD diet. I am now ZERO CARB, zero seed oils, zero sugars and zero processed foods.
Can I stop taking this medication ? Thank you. :-)
Someone who doesn't know you can't give you medical advice.
I found a Carnivore doctor and he agreed I should stop taking that drug. @@edennis8578

Is aldactone safe to take for hairfall?
If you are a girl, it's ok
If u are a boy then it's not ok
spironolactone can cause less hair growth in men. Spironolactone is an anti-androgen medication that blocks the effects of male hormones (androgens) in the body. Androgens are known to contribute to hair loss in men
Spironolactone works by blocking the effects of androgens in the body, which can help to slow down or even reverse the hair loss process in some women. It is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for female pattern hair loss, although it may not be suitable for everyone.
I’ve pcos, my endocrinologist put me on this medication and since i took this i had an extreme kidney pain although i had 15-20 glasses of water because of it still my kidney pain didn’t go away . So i stopped taking it!

I'm 16y dermatologist gave me aldactone for acne without doing any tests i didn't even had severe acne. I kept taking it for 5 months my stomach,kidney,heart,lifer and even chest hurt so bad☹️
did you get tested? How are you feeling now?
I pray u are feeling better
Jesus please heal her! In jesus name!!!
What mg are you taking?
I came off it, In December, for cramps in my toes. It caused me to lose more hair on my head and gained more facial hair and body hair, then I had b4 I went on it. I feel its caused more problems, then b4 I went on it. I use have my testosterone & hormones checked & was always OK. I ended up with elevated testosterone, which I think was after coming off it. And now being diagnosed with PCOS. I'm worried coming off it now I'll, go completely bold and hairy . 😫😭 I've also got high blood pressure now and think they have effected my gums n teeth 🤬
For how long do you take it???
Been throwing up since taking should I stop
Firstly you need figure out if something else is causing your vomiting.Have a discussion with your doctor.
I’m 27 and I’ve been taking this since February (100mg daily) , my acne went away completely after 4 months (YAY!) but still one annoying one when I’m close to getting my monthly which is so much better than getting the horrible cystic acne EVERY SINGLE DAY. I didn’t know that marijuana can slow down the effectiveness until now but hey gotta have my ganja daily too 😆❤️
hey do u think marijuana affected ur skin in any way?
It didn’t ! My skin is so clear now
In other words, you are addicted. Being a slave to a plant is nothing to be proud of.
If you are a man be aware that spironolactone is the first med given for transforming into a woman. It will cause your penis to shrink some.
I been taking this 1 year and 4 months now…I been breaking out like crazy over my face out of nowhere.. what should I do? I been thinking about stopping taking them.
Can you clarify breaking out are you getting a rash or hives or is acne worsening.

Did I miss something because no one else seems to be worried .
This medication made my ance worst.
Wow, mine was better. I gained weight, had sore breasts, felt weepy, leathery feet on top, and had tingling legs. It has been over one year since i quit taking it and still feel fat and tingly. Pimples are not that bad now.
I've been on it and had breast pain and started growing titties. Trying to get off of it now
You said, ‘ ... if you’re OLDER...’ What’s older? Over 50 or 60? 😅
LOL.> 65 y/o

Who in the heck would take this medication unless it was the last resort? Can you imagine giving this to a teenage boy for acne & his breasts start to enlarge?
Dermatologist will go a different route for men, if its for acne. Usually accutane.
