Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic and an antagonist of aldosterone. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as heart failure, hypertension, primary hyperaldosteronism, and edema associated with liver cirrhosis or nephrotic syndrome. It is also used for treatment of hirsutism and acne in women. Spironolactone is an approved drug and is commonly used in clinical practice today.
