Can you drink alcohol while taking aldactone (spironolactone)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea.: Aldactone (spironolactone) is a "water pill" used to control blood pressure. The problem is that alcohol is also a diuretic causing more water loss. This can result in dehydration and a low blood pressure.
