Aldactone (spironolactone): The effect on blood pressure normalization is almost magic. However, after many years of use, the drop in testosterone has been significant. The drop in libido and desire caused a relationship to fail and the low testosterone aggravated a weight gain problem. By utilizing topical testosterone supplements, libido is much improved and weight loss is possible again. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

spironolactone: I too have found Spironolactone to be a miracle drug for me. After 20 years of treatment for hypertension, I was taking three different anti-hypertensives and four large Potassium pills per day, and yet there was significant edema, especially in the lower legs, and my blood pressure at best was 150/90. I am now taking 100 mg of Spironolactone and 80 mg of Diovan (no Potassium). My ankles are slim and trim, my Potassium level is in the normal range and blood pressure is around 120/80. I experienced some breast development and tenderness, but that is now under control after my GP added Tamoxifen to my treatment regimen. I am also taking Lipitor, Androgel and Byetta, and have reversed the 30% weight gain of the past 20 years. I am a 69 year old male. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

spironolactone: This medication worked wonders for me. I had virtually untreatable hypertension for nearly ten years. Once I was diagnosed with hyperaldosteronism and placed on Spironaldactone, my blood pressure returned to normal limits in a matter of weeks. Side effects are significant and something of a nuisance, but have no detrimental effects on actual health or level of activity. 7 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?
