What is an Aldactazide?
Aldactazide is a medication that combines two active ingredients, spironolactone/hydrochlorothiazide and is primarily used to manage conditions like hypertension and edema.
Uses of Aldactazide
Aldactazide helps treat and manage hypertension, edema and heart failure.
How it works?
It falls into the class of drugs known as diuretics. Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, inhibits sodium and water reabsorption while retaining potassium. Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, further promotes diuresis by increasing sodium and water excretion. This combination helps lower blood pressure and reduce fluid retention.
What are the different dosage forms and strengths of Aldactazide?
Aldactazide is available by prescription only and typically comes in oral tablet form with various dosage strengths. The following doses are available combining spironolactone/hydrochlorothiazide:
- 25/25mg
- 50/50mg
How to take it?
It is not available over the counter and should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider to ensure proper dosing and monitoring. A single tablet is usually prescribed, once or twice a day, depending on the medical condition that you are being treated for.

Precautions and contraindications
- Avoiding or limiting foods high in potassium is advisable, when taking this medication as it can cause potassium retention. Foods to moderate or avoid include bananas, oranges, potatoes, spinach, and salt substitutes.
- Aldactazide can interact with several medications, potentially leading to complications. These include interactions with other potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements, which can elevate potassium levels, increasing the risk of hyperkalemia. Additionally, interactions with ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may raise the risk of hyperkalemia.
FAQs about Aldactazide prescription refill
How does an Aldactazide work?
Aldactazide works as a diuretic by increasing the elimination of sodium and water while retaining potassium, effectively reducing fluid volume and lowering blood pressure.
Can an Aldactazide be taken at night?
Aldactazide is typically taken in the morning to minimize nighttime urination. Taking it at night may lead to increased urination during your sleep and disrupt your sleep pattern.
How long does it take an Aldactazide to leave your system?
The half-life of spironolactone, one of the active ingredients in Aldactazide, is around 1.3 hours, and the half-life of hydrochlorothiazide is about 5.6 to 14.8 hours.
Is an Aldactazide the same as spironolactone?
Aldactazide contains spironolactone as one of its active ingredients, but it also includes hydrochlorothiazide. Spironolactone is primarily a potassium-sparing diuretic, while Aldactazide is a combination medication consisting of spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide, used for conditions like hypertension and edema. The combination provides a broader therapeutic effect compared to spironolactone alone.
Can I drink coffee while taking an Aldactazide?
Moderate coffee consumption is generally acceptable while taking Aldactazide. However, it's essential to be aware that coffee is a diuretic and can contribute to fluid loss, which Aldactazide already promotes. Excessive coffee intake may lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and potential side effects.
