On this episode, I discuss spironolactone pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions and much more.
Spironolactone has numerous indications including hypertension, CHF, ascites, and acne. I break them all down in this podcast episode.

Gynecomastia is one of the most commonly tested adverse effects of spironolactone. Be sure you don’t miss this one on your board and pharmacology exams!
