spironolactone and Edema, Cardiac

spironolactone has been researched along with Edema, Cardiac in 12 studies

Spironolactone: A potassium sparing diuretic that acts by antagonism of aldosterone in the distal renal tubules. It is used mainly in the treatment of refractory edema in patients with congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis. Its effects on the endocrine system are utilized in the treatments of hirsutism and acne but they can lead to adverse effects. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p827)
spironolactone : A steroid lactone that is 17alpha-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone substituted by an oxo group at position 3 and an alpha-acetylsulfanyl group at position 7.

Edema, Cardiac: Abnormal fluid retention by the body due to impaired cardiac function or heart failure. It is usually characterized by increase in venous and capillary pressure, and swollen legs when standing. It is different from the generalized edema caused by renal dysfunction (NEPHROTIC SYNDROME).

"The efficacy and tolerability of two combinations, namely 50 mg spironolactone + 20 mg furosemide (SF) or 50 mg spironolactone + 5 mg butizide (SB), were compared in a randomised intraindividual trial in 22 patients with congestive heart failure."5.05[Comparative study of 2 diuretic-containing combination preparations in patients with edematous heart failure].
