Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Spironolactone 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a potent medication used to manage a range of conditions such as hyperaldosteronism, congestive heart failure, edema, primary hyperaldosteronism, and hypertension. This medication functions by inhibiting the action of aldosterone, a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating the body's salt and water balance. By doing so, it aids in reducing fluid retention and lowering blood pressure. The medication is available in a 50 mg capsule form, which is gluten-free.

The capsules are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. This formulation is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or those who require a specific dosage that is not available in standard tablet forms.

For patients with hyperaldosteronism, spironolactone can help reduce the amount of aldosterone in the body, which can help alleviate symptoms such as high blood pressure, edema, and fatigue. For those with congestive heart failure, spironolactone can help reduce fluid retention and improve symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue. For patients suffering from edema, spironolactone can help reduce fluid retention and improve symptoms such as swelling and discomfort. For patients with primary hyperaldosteronism, spironolactone can help reduce the amount of aldosterone in the body, which can help alleviate symptoms such as high blood pressure, edema, and fatigue. For patients with hypertension, spironolactone can help reduce blood pressure and improve symptoms such as headaches and dizziness.

However, it is crucial to adhere to your doctor's instructions and take the medication as prescribed. If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help treat your condition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a hormone that helps regulate salt and water balance in the body. It is used to reduce fluid retention (edema) caused by congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease. It is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and primary hyperaldosteronism, a condition in which the body produces too much aldosterone. Spironolactone may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

When taking Spironolactone 50 mg Capsules (Gluten Free), it is important to take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more or less than the recommended dose.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
