Video Production by Joshua Melendez

Partial Video Transcript:

"So you've been suggested to start a medication called Spironolactone for your acne. Now the interesting thing is that Spironolactone is not FDA-approved to treat acne. It's actually a blood pressure medication.

Now Spironolactone works by blocking the effects of testosterone, the male predominant hormone in your skin. Now if we think about it, testosterone is what gives us oil. Oil is what feeds the whole cycle of acne. So if we're blocking the effects of testosterone on the skin, then hopefully we're reducing the excess of oil that's produced in the skin, and then that's how your acne gets better. Now it's not too often prescribed for blood pressure because it really doesn't do that much for blood pressure, unless you increase, the dose is very high. But what they noticed when they did the studies decades ago on this, was that women who took Spironolactone and had acne, almost all of their acne went away. And so dermatologists, we've been writing Spironolactone for decades, and we've had very good luck with it. It's almost like a miracle medication for women who have acne, especially acne in areas where men have a beard, and when you get it on your forehead. And if you have that type of acne and it flares right around your menstrual cycle, then Spironolactone is probably going to be the home run for your acne..."

Espironolactona ¿Cuándo y cómo debemos tomarla? Tu Farmacéutico Informa Side Effects 0 Views • 2 months ago

Videoconsejo sanitario sobre Espironolactona , para qué sirve este medicamento, cuándo y cómo debemos tomarlo. Videoconsejo impartido por el farmacéutico Jorge Gómez-Carpintero, elaborado por el Consejo General de Colegios Farmacéuticos y producido por Medicina TV.

Espironolactona es un fármaco diurético antagonista de la aldosterona, que actúa sobre los receptores de intercambio sodio/potasio del túbulo contorneado distal, provocando una mayor excreción de sodio y agua y la retención de potasio.

Por ello, espironolactona está indicada, sola o en asociación, en enfermedades o condiciones en las que el aumento de la diuresis resulte beneficioso, como el edema, la hipertensión arterial o la insuficiencia cardiaca.

Además, debido a su efecto ahorrador de potasio también está indicada en la hipopotasemia.

Y debido a su efecto antagonista de la aldosterona, está indicada en casos de hiperaldosteronismo.

Los medicamentos que contienen espironolactona requieren de receta para su dispensación.

Están disponibles en forma de comprimidos por vía oral con dosis de entre 25 y 100 mg de espironolactona.

Algunos medicamentos combinan espironolactona con altizida o clortalidona, que son también diuréticos, pero del grupo farmacológico de las tiazidas, por lo que complementan el efecto de espironolactona.

Por lo general, espironolactona es un fármaco bien tolerado y la frecuencia de efectos adversos es baja con dosis de hasta 100 mg al día.

El más común es la hiperpotasemia, pero también pueden aparecer otros como mareos, dolor de cabeza o somnolencia.

Además, debido al antagonismo que ejerce sobre los receptores de aldosterona pueden ocurrir otros efectos como menstruaciones irregulares en mujeres o dolor en las mamas.

Y recuerda, pregunta siempre a tu farmacéutico de confianza. Te informaremos sobre cómo debes utilizar espironolactona y sobre cualquier otra duda que tengas.

How to use Spironolactone (Aldactone - CaroSpir) - Dose, Side Effects, Safety - Doctor Explains Side Effects 0 Views • 2 months ago

In this video we will cover everything you need to know about Spironolactone. We will discuss how and when to use it, we will cover its side effects, dosage and much, much more.

You can find more useful videos on cardiovascular diseases and their treatments here:
https://www.youtube.com/playli....st?list=PLaG3Bo3L0gX

Generic name: Spironolactone.
Brand names: Aldactone or CaroSpir.
Available as a tablet or oral suspension.

How to use it?
- Tablet: Just swallow it with half a glass of water.
- Oral suspension: first shake the bottle before use. Next up, measure the correct amount using a measuring spoon or measuring cup. Take this amount and afterwards rinse the cup or spoon with water and drink this water as well.

Always take spironolactone with some food. This could decrease your chance on side effects affecting your stomach and intestines.

When to use it?
Spironolactone is a diuretic, which prevents your body from absorbing too much salt. A diuretic, also called a water pill, helps you to get rid of salt (sodium) and water. The result is an increased production of urine, which will make you pee more often. Through this effect, Spironolactone is used to treat heart failure, high blood pressure or low blood potassium levels.
It also treats fluid retention, in medical terms called edema, in people with heart failure or certain severe kidney problems.
Furthermore, Spironolactone is also used to diagnose and treat a condition where you have too much aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands, which helps to regulate the salt and water balance in your body.

What is the correct dosage?
The precise dose will depend on your specific indication of use, the side effect you might experience and the severity of your symptoms. Therefore always use the precise amount and frequency your doctor prescribed you.
- However, in most use cases your doctor will prescribe a dose of 25-200 mg/day. Your doctor usually starts with a low dose, which will be increased if necessary.

What are the side-effects?
- Very common (10%): headache, poor digestion, diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, painful breasts, breast disorders, menstrual disorders and (irreversible) lowering of the voice (women).
- Common (1-10%): nausea, vomiting, weakness, paresthesia, change in vaginal discharge and post-menopausal bleeding.
- Uncommon (0,1-1%): rash, skin reactions, muscle cramps and confusion.
- Rare (0,01-0,1%): blood cell disorders, paralysis, dehydration, eczema and hypersensitivity.
- Very rare (0,01%): acute renal failure, stomach inflammation, gastrointestinal cramps, intestinal bleeding, alopecia (hair loss), breast cancer and hepatitis.

Safety:
- You may feel a little dizzy the first few days of using this medicine. If you continue to feel dizzy, do not participate in traffic.
- Furthermore, combining spironolactone with alcohol could increase the side effects you are experiencing.
- Next, Spironolactone could have interactions with other drugs you are using. Therefore always discuss this with your personal doctor.
- Lastly, Spironolactone could be dangerous for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding. Therefore always discuss this with your personal doctor.
