Rx Spironolactone Tabs 50mg, 100ct

Rx Spironolactone 50 mg x 100 Tablets

Spironolactone is a prescription potassium-sparing diuretic used in dogs and cats to reduce fluid retention associated with congestive heart failure and other conditions where excess fluid accumulation occurs. Unlike other diuretics, Spironolactone helps the body eliminate fluid without causing potassium loss, making it especially useful in pets that require long-term fluid management. It is often prescribed when other diuretics have not been effective or as part of a combination therapy with additional heart medications.
