With edema, which is caused by cardiovascular failure, prescribe Veroshpiron. Instructions for use also indicate its use in cirrhosis of the liver and paroxysmal myoplegia. This drug is also prescribed for diseases that are accompanied by fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity (ascites).
Since the Hungarian drug Veroshpiron is a competitive hormone antagonist that is produced by the adrenal glands (their cortical layer), it has the opposite effect on the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. In addition, veroshpiron has a pronounced diuretic property. Without significantly affecting the blood circulation in the kidneys and the functioning of their tubules, veroshpiron (confirmation of how to use this) does not change the acid-base state of the human body.
When the patient periodically experiences disturbances in the movements of the limbs due to the slow release of potassium ions from the body, he is also prescribed veroshpiron.
The use of this medication is also possible with persistent high blood pressure. In this case, it is used to enhance the effect of pressure-lowering drugs taken by the patient. The dosage for hypertension is as follows: per day three to four times at 0.025 grams.
In Parkinson's disease, Veroshpiron (instructions for use indicate this) is prescribed by the following therapeutic course: 20 days of admission, then a break for four to five months, then again admission for twenty days.
The use of this medication may be accompanied by dermatoses, that is, manifestations of allergic reactions on the skin. Side effects also include drowsiness, dizziness, a possible decrease in blood sodium levels and an increased value of potassium. In some cases, patients may experience a decrease in erection, menstrual irregularities, and other unpleasant consequences.
Veroshpiron cannot be used in the treatment of pregnant women (in the 1st trimester) and patients with acute renal failure, as well as patients with hyperkalemia and urolithiasis.
The doctor most often prescribes this drug with the following dose: from 0.05 to 0.3 grams per day. An adult patient a day should take (according to the prescription of his doctor) after eating from 0.1 to 0.2 grams in two to four doses. Only 4-5 days after the start of taking Veroshpiron in the patient's condition, improvements are visible. It makes no sense to drink this drug for less than two weeks, since the maximum effect is achieved only by the end of the second week. When the patient's condition begins to improve, the dosage can be reduced to 0.075 and even to 0.025 grams. The doctor must warn the patient that during treatment with veroshpiron it is not recommended to use medications containing potassium in parallel.
Children take the medicine as prescribed by the attending physician. Usually the amount of money taken is calculated by the weight of the child, that is, 3 milligrams per kilogram. A single or double dose of this medicine is prescribed per day.
