Study Spironolactone and its mechanism of action in this mnemonic, and study other NCLEX mnemonics with Pixorize.
Spironolactone is a diuretic that is used to remove excess fluid. By reducing blood volume, it can be effective in treating edema and hypertension. Importantly, spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic, meaning that it increases potassium levels in the body and may even cause hyperkalemia at high doses, so you’ll want to keep a close eye on electrolyte levels. Since spironolactone causes fluid loss by way of urination, you’ll want to monitor the patient’s urine output, kidney function, and daily weights.

If you take Entresto which also preserves potassium would this be a bad option to take along with that med?

Does it "mimic" or "block" the action of aldosterone 1:35 ? Im not sure is its action (mimic/ block aldosterone) on different parts of the kidney produces different effects.

@fatimasuleman1980 11 ай бұрын

Antagonizes the action of aldosterone, that is, works opposite to it.

thank you! that confused me too.

Yes I also felt like they kind of worded that wrong. If it mimics aldosterone then it would increase sodium retention.

I noticed you said Spironolactone is a WEAK diuretic. Is that why I have to take 400 mgs to keep my weight down? My dr is fighting back since all she sees id Spironolactone as a heart drug at a very low dose. It makes me pee much less than furosemide. Why is that?
