Aldactone (spironolactone): Aldactone, (spironolactone) a brand name for a synthetic steroidal antimeinerralocorticoid agent. It is used mainly as a diuretic, saving potassium in heart failure, hypertension and cirrhosis. It has some anti-androgen effect yet it is NOT used to treat hormonal disorders in general. Do not believe in every thing you read.
