Aldactazide is a drug combination of two diuretic agents, spironolactone component and thiazide component .which is most commonly used for the treatment of high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions, including heart disease. Aldactazide comes in the category of drugs called diuretics. Aldactazide (Spironolactone/ Hydrochlorothiazide) is being manufactured by Pfizer and is available in 25 mg, and 50 mg tablets.
Aldactazide is generally used for the treatment of high blood pressure and some other situation that require the removal of extra fluid from the body.

How Aldactazide (Spironolactone/ Hydrochlorothiazide)works?
Aldactazide is a combination of two diuretic agents with different but complementary mechanisms and sites of action, thereby providing additive diuretic and antihypertensive effects. Additionally, the spironolactone component helps to minimize the potassium loss characteristically induced by the thiazide component. Aldactazide blocks the effect of aldosteronea hormone that regulates sodium and potassium levels in the body. Aldactazide increase excretion of sodium and water in the urine while conserving potassium in the kidney. Hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, increases the excretion of sodium and water in the urine. By reducing the overall fluid volume in the body, diuretics reduce pressure within the blood vessels.
