Aldactone

[BadGenCD]

Hey guys, I am doing a contest in 4.5 weeks and I am looking into using aldactone. Just wanted to know what the dosing and protocol for it consists of...how many days, tapering of water intake, etc...

Thanks.

ALDACTAZIDE (SPIRONOLACTONE/HYDROCHOLRTHIAZIDE)
Reported Characteristics
Active-Life: 10-12 hours
Drug Class: Diuretic (Oral)
Average Reported Dosage: 50-200mg (total) daily
Spironothiazid is a diureteic and an ALDOSTERONE antagonist. This means thatit suppresses the water retaining actions of the hormone ALDOSTERONE whilelowering water retention by lowering electrolytes (potassium, sodium, and calcium). Theadvantage of the combination is that the potassium absorption effect by thespironolactone can be mediated by the hydrochlorthiazide. Because of this, some of thepotassium loss side effects can be avoided. This is probably a safer choice than LASIXthough any diuretic use should be medically monitored. Thiazides also lead to a lowerloss of calcium.

Side effects are commonly due to imbalances in electrolytes and fluids. They caninclude irregular pulse rate, cramps, and light headiness. Since the drug has ANTIANDROGENICquality (spironolactone), men can experience possible gyno, andimpotence due to higher dosage and/or prolonged use. These were noted to not occur dueto the brief administration period normally employed. According to available literature, itis best to avoid higher potassium intake during use. Dosages were usually 50-150mg aday for no more than 3 days. Dosages were divided into 2-3 daily dosages.

TRADE NAMES

Aldactazide 25/15-MG TABS
Aldactazide 25/50-MG TABS
Spironothiazid 25/25-MG TABS
*THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER MANUFACTURERS NOT LISTED

Little cut and paste for your reading... Someone who uses this and competes could better answer from real world usage..
