Adults: The standard initial dose ranges from 1 to 4 tablets daily, adjusted by a doctor based on individual clinical response.
Administration: Can be taken with or without food. It is highly recommended to take this medication in the morning with breakfast to prevent sleep disruptions from increased nighttime urination.

Dehydration and shifts in electrolyte levels (such as low sodium or high potassium)
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or low blood pressure (especially when standing up too quickly)
Headache, drowsiness, or mild gastrointestinal cramps and diarrhea
Hormonal or endocrine fluctuations due to spironolactone, potentially leading to breast tenderness/enlargement in men (gynaecomastia) or menstrual irregularities in women
Critical Safety Warning: Do not use this medication if you suffer from complete inability to urinate (anuria), severe kidney failure, Addison's disease, or pre-existing high blood potassium levels.
Let your doctor know if you are taking ACE inhibitors or potassium supplements, as mixing these can trigger dangerously high potassium concentrations in your blood (hyperkalemia). Always rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to reduce fainting risks.
