Clinical Overview

Spironolactone is a synthetic steroid competitive mineralocorticoid receptor (aldosterone) antagonist and potassium-sparing diuretic on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It blocks aldosterone binding in the late distal renal tubules and cortical collecting ducts, increasing sodium and water excretion while conserving potassium and hydrogen ions. In heart failure, it blocks aldosterone-mediated myocardial fibrosis and endothelial dysfunction. Indicated for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (NYHA class II-IV), primary hyperaldosteronism, cirrhosis with ascites, resistant hypertension, and nephrotic edema.
