Spironolactone is a medication that can be prescribed for the treatment of low potassium levels, high blood pressure, heart failure, water retention, and hyperaldosteronism. The diuretic, which works by blocking a certain hormone in the body, can help increase the amount of salt and water removed from the blood. While most people tolerate spironolactone tablets well, potential side effects include nausea, headache, drowsiness, and impotence.
