Carospir (spironolactone) is a potassium-sparing diuretic water pill that prevents body from absorbing too much salt and keeps potassium levels from getting too low.
Spironolactone is used to diagnose or treat a condition of too much aldosterone in the body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by adrenal glands to regulate the salt and water balance in the body.
Spironolactone also treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or a kidney disorder known as nephrotic syndrome.
Spironolactone is used for treating or preventing low potassium levels in the blood. Avoid spironolactone if you are allergic to the drug, have kidney disease, or if you are unable to urinate.
Common side effects are: mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, breast swelling or tenderness, dizziness, headache, mild drowsiness, leg cramps and impotence hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat.
