Shake the oral suspension well before each use to mix the medication evenly. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take spironolactone at around the same time(s) every day.

Take spironolactone suspension consistently either with food or without food each time. Spironolactone comes as a tablet and suspension (liquid Carospir) to take by mouth. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body. It causes the kidneys to eliminate unneeded water and sodium from the body into the urine but reduces the loss of potassium from the body. Spironolactone is in a class of medications called aldosterone receptor antagonists. It is also used alone or with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Spironolactone is used to treat certain patients with hyperaldosteronism (the body produces too much aldosterone, a naturally occurring hormone) low potassium levels heart failure and in patients with edema (fluid retention) caused by various conditions, including liver, or kidney disease.
