Spironolactone is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called aldosterone receptor antagonists. It is primarily used as a diuretic (water pill) to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by various conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease.
However, Spironolactone is also commonly prescribed for the treatment of hormonal conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hirsutism (excessive hair growth). It is particularly effective in reducing the production of androgens (male hormones) in the body.
