I forgot to mention one other thing about aldactone. When you are on it you can not take NSAIDS (nonsteroid anti-inflamitory drugs), these are Ibuprofen(advil, motrin), asprin, aleve, any of those type of pain killers. They all effect the kidneys, I get migrains fairly frequently and even one Ibuprofen can cause me to swell up. The pharmasist told me that occasional use is okay but not frequent, I prefer to avoid them all together.
