Dear Healthcare Professional,

Vivian Corporation and Remedica Ltd have worked closely together for many years and have always sought to make it their mission to satisfy the unmet demands of patients. It is for this reason that I am pleased to announce that Remedica’s generic spironolactone 25mg is available on the private market under the trade name Spirolon® 25.

 

Mode of Action

Spironolactone is a specific pharmacologic antagonist of aldosterone, acting primarily through competitive binding of receptors at the aldosterone-dependent sodium-potassium exchange sites in the distal portion of the convoluted renal tubule. It causes increased amounts of sodium and water to be excreted, while potassium is retained, in this way, acting as both a diuretic and an antihypertensive drug.

Therapeutic Indications

Spirolon ® is indicated for use in

  • Congestive cardiac failure
  • Hepatic cirrhosis with ascites and oedema
  • Malignant ascites
  • Nephrotic syndrome
  • Diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism

Administration

Spirolon® should always be administered with fluid and preferably with food to aid absorption. Doses vary according to the therapeutic indication and the age of the patient.

Pack Size and Consumer Price

Spirolon® 25mg x 50 tablets: €7.40
