A comparison of the use of Aldactone and Aldactone A in the treatment of hepatic ascites.

چکیده
In eight patients with cirrhosis and stable ascites controlled on chlorothiazide and spironolactone, a small particle preparation of spironolactone (Aldactone A) was as effective, at one quarter the dosage, as conventional spironolactone (Aldactone). Plasma spironolactone metabolite levels and urinary excretion of spironolactone metabolite were equivalent with both preparations. The variable dosage requirement of spironolactone in patients with cirrhosis and ascites is discussed in relation to these observations.

متن کاملGitelman syndrome: a rare life‐threatening case of hypokalemic paralysis mimicking Guillain–Barré syndrome during pregnancy and review of the literature
In rare cases, patients with Gitelman syndrome may present with hypokalemic paralysis mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome. The severity of resultant symptoms may be life-threatening. Controversial drugs such as aldactone, amiloride, and eplerenone should be used in this situation despite the lack of safety data.
متن کاملA landmark for popperian epidemiology: refutation of the randomised Aldactone evaluation study.
In 1999 a great multi-site clinical trial known as the randomised Aldactone evaluation study (RALES) showed that the use of spironolactone importantly reduced complications attributable to chronic heart failure without major negative side effects. Recently, RALES has been questioned by a large scale observational study in the Ontario population. In contrast with predictions, the complications a...
