Spironolactone has a risk to the fetus during pregnancy and will likely harm the fetus. It is not advised to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding for most patients. Consult with your healthcare provider before taking Spironolactone if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

It is generally recommended to avoid excessive consumption of high-potassium foods or supplements while taking Spironolactone, as the medication can increase potassium levels in the body. If you have healthy kidney function and no other medical problems then you likely do not need to avoid any foods as your body will adjust and regulate your potassium levels without any issues. Your healthcare provider may provide specific dietary recommendations based on your needs and medical condition.

Spironolactone may interact with certain medications, supplements, or herbal products, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. There are several important categories to consider.  If you take other medicines that increase potassium levels like angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It is not uncommon to take medicines like this together but it does require a thoughtful discussion with your doctor. Two other important medication interactions are lithium and digoxin. These medicines are regulated and removed from the body by the kidneys. Taking spironolactone with these medications is a more complicated situation and needs careful attention from your doctor and healthcare team. Before taking Spironolactone, inform your healthcare provider about all your medications and supplements.

The time it takes for Spironolactone to start working can vary depending on the individual's medical condition and the body's response to treatment. For conditions like blood pressure and fluid retention, you can expect to see changes with the first dose. For androgen-driven conditions like hormonal acne, PCOS, and hair loss in women, it will typically take weeks to months to see the changes you desire.

There are several alternative medications that your doctor can prescribe instead of Spironolactone (Aldactone), including Lisinopril (Zestril) for high blood pressure and heart failure and Furosemide (Lasix) for edema. There are many other medications that can be used to treat hormonal acne and hair loss in women too. Consult your healthcare provider to determine the best medication alternative for your condition. Your healthcare provider will evaluate your circumstances and work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, which may include a combination of medications or lifestyle modifications.

Probably the scariest side effect of Spironolactone is hyperkalemia (elevated potassium blood levels). For years, patients were required to get regular blood work to check on their potassium levels to use this medication. Hyperkalemia is a legit 5-star emergency; it will kill you in minutes to hours.

It turns out that your kidneys are super smart and can manage your potassium levels even when you take this medicine. As long as someone has healthy kidney function, there is usually no problem with potassium levels at all while taking Spironolactone. However, for older patients (your kidney function tends to get worse as you age), or if you have a history of abnormal kidney function or lots of other medical problems, you need blood work on a regular basis as there are other problems, medications, or poor functioning kidneys that could put you at risk.

As doctors, we used to be really nervous about this issue for healthy women using this for hormonal acne or hair loss. So we wanted blood work before you started and every 3 months while taking it but a great study came out in 2015 reassuring us that this is really safe for healthy women with no history of kidney problems or kidney disease and that blood work is really not necessary to take this medicine.

In this study, they basically looked at a lot of women (more than a thousand) taking this medicine and saw that they had no increased incidence of hyperkalemia – no more than what you find in the general population of women not taking spironolactone. In other words, there was no difference in potassium levels of healthy young women taking the drug or not taking the drug.

While it is not recommended to stop taking Spironolactone (Aldactone) abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider. There are no risks of withdrawal symptoms like there are with certain other drugs. Sudden discontinuation may cause your condition to worsen (like your blood pressure or fluid retention could worsen if previously controlled on spironolactone.). Your healthcare provider may advise you on how to safely taper off the medication if it needs to be discontinued if you have been taking it for a while to control your blood pressure and fluid retention, or to help with heart failure.
