What is Aldactazide (Spironolactone/HCTZ)?

Aldactazide is the trade name of a prescription drug containing a combination of spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide as the active components. Both drugs belong to a group of drugs called diuretics (water pills). When used together, they complement each other, thereby providing additive antihypertensive and diuretic effects. Aldactazide is used in the management of high blood pressure and reduction of extra fluid. Spironolactone also aids in retaining potassium levels which are diminished by hydrochlorothiazide. The drug is manufactured by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in different strengths of Aldactazide 25/25mg, and 50/50mg tablets of spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide, and available in pack sizes of 100 tablets.

Active ingredient

Spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide are the active components of Aldactazide. They work in combination to lower high blood pressure and reduce extra fluid in the body. Spironolactone works by interfering with certain hormones in the body, thereby inducing the need to excrete sodium chloride (salt) from the body while hydrochlorothiazide works on the kidneys to increase the excretion of sodium chloride (salt) from the body to lower pressure.

Conditions treated

• High blood pressure
• Extra fluid in the body
