spironolactone and Familial Primary Pulmonary Hypertension

spironolactone has been researched along with Familial Primary Pulmonary Hypertension in 4 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.

Familial Primary Pulmonary Hypertension: Familial or idiopathic hypertension in the PULMONARY CIRCULATION which is not secondary to other disease.
