taking Inspra/Eplerenone with Sando-K (as blood tests show potassium level low) and Bumetanide
My understanding of being prescribed Eplerenone is that it is a potassium sparing diuretic (stops any potassium being expelled from the body) to be taken alongside the Bumetanide which is a diuretic that expels all excess fluid. I was previously prescribed Spironolactone -another slightly stronger potassium

Diuretics
Hi, has anyone been recommended to take a diuretic for mild/moderate left ventricular impairment but no symptoms of water retention such as breathlessness, swollen ankles? My husband (age 65) had an echocardiogram in February last year, ejection fraction 40%, also mild/moderate regurgitation. A few days

Primary hyperaldosteronism
After 5 years of unsuccessful attempts to lower my blood pressure with countless combinations of meds and consistent low potassium levels, I’m now waiting for a CT scan of my adrenal glands to hopefully confirm a diagnosis of Conn’s Syndrome. My bloods back this up with renin levels and high aldosterone

Stage 4 Cirrhosis can be compensated?
My husband was diagnosed with Cirrhosis via liver biopsy. He is 65 years old. The liver specialist says the biopsy indicates Stage 4 cirrhosis. His fibrosis was also stage 4. But liver specialist also says his liver is compensated? How can this be? He has been prescribed lactulose, spirolactone

How long did it take for your spironolactone tablets to improve your ascites?
I have experienced my first episode of ascites recently. It has made me very breathless and uncomfortable with abdominal swelling. Sadly the ascites is dispersed in small pockets around my abdomen. I started spironolactone 100 mg daily, two weeks ago and it has not made a lot of difference. My weight

Liver Stent/Tips
Hi, I had a tips in May 2022, within 6 weeks it failed and I had urgent surgery to correct it in July 2022. I've been told my new TIPS is very big. Since then I have felt absolutely amazing. However, past week I've had a build up of ascities - not huge but enough to see my weight increase by 7lbs. I

SPIRONOLACTONE . WHEN CAN I STOP TAKING IT?
I'm eager to know others experience and advice about Spironolactone. I was prescribed it 2 years ago when I had Ascites. I have never had a repeat of Ascites since that time, have undergone surgery successfully unrelated to liver issues and had no problems post General Anaesthetic. In short I have been

Ascites for over a week
Hi any advice welcome. My partner has had ascites for close to two weeks now. He's been on spironolactone a week now, and he's still peeing and pooing loads. He's had around 1 day where it eased off and he actually ate a meal. His GP was supposed to be contacting his consultant to expedite an appointment

Stinging/burning leg pain
I had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair in 2019 and last year I was diagnosed with Heart Failure. I was prescribed Spironolactone but after developing side effects of one breast swelling and painful to touch these were stopped a couple weeks ago. I’ve now been prescribed Eplerenone so hopefully

Recent deterioration
I have an autoimmune liver disease called Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia. This is caused by a primary immune condition called Common Variable Immune Deficiency. I have deteriorated slowly over 10 years and the phrase “ advanced liver disease” was used for the first time in September. A few weeks

Spironolactone or Eplenerone
My ejection fraction has decreased from 40-45% to 35-40% so my cardiologist is starting me on Dapagliflozin and then either Spironolactone or Eplenerone. I already take Candesartan. Is either one of those better than the other and are side effects the same? I’ve also read that Spironolactone can cause

Lisinopril and spironolactone taken together
does any one else have experience of taking lisinopril and spironolactone at the same time and what side effects have they had? And would it be better to take both these tablets before bed?
