Spironolactone is a type of cardiovascular drug used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and other conditions. It is a potassium-sparing diuretic, meaning it helps the body get rid of excess water while preserving potassium. It is also used to treat primary hyperaldosteronism, a condition in which the body produces too much of the hormone aldosterone. Spironolactone is available in both generic and brand-name forms. The spironolactone market is highly competitive, with many companies offering generic and brand-name versions of the drug. Companies such as Pfizer, Merck, and Novartis are some of the major players in the market. Other companies such as Mylan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Sun Pharmaceuticals also offer generic versions of the drug.
