Spironolactone brand name?

What brand name is spironolactone sold under?

Spironolactone is sold under several brand names depending on the country and product strength/formulation. Common brand names include Aldactone and Aldactone-AF.

Why do there seem to be multiple brand names?

Different manufacturers and specific tablet formulations (such as extended-release or different strengths) can carry different brand names even though the active ingredient is still spironolactone.

Is spironolactone the same medicine as Aldactone?

Yes. Aldactone is one of the best-known brand names for the drug spironolactone (same active ingredient), though the exact dosing and tablet formulation can vary by product.

What if I’m trying to identify my prescription?

Check your prescription label or the bottle for either:
- the generic name: “spironolactone,” or
- the brand name (e.g., “Aldactone”), and the strength in mg (for example, 25 mg or 100 mg).

Is there a way to confirm the brand name in my country?

If you tell me your country (and the tablet strength, if you know it), I can narrow down the likely brand names used there.
