Hi,

 

I took Spironolactone from January to 24th 2006 to July 27th 2006. The diuretic medication aggravated my other medical issues and was stopped. Meanwhile, my frequency of extreme low BP's continue. What I need to know is, how long does Spironolactone take to leave the body? Is it cleared by the kidneys, liver or intestines? 

 

I do have a history of retaining medications and need lower doses. Unless the Spironolactone built up in me. It has been over twenty days that I stopped the medication.

 

I also read that steroid medications can take a long time to eliminate? Caro

Most out by 2 weeks.

May your pressure be low!

Caro,

I know that when they do any testing for aldo you have to be off of

Spiro for at least 5 weeks.

Takes a good 8-12 weeks to get rid of Spiro in your body. In some cases it takes longer.

Thanks for that. I had another small vein pop in my arm yesterday. I am okay I hope.

Yes I know what you mean. Vein popping used to happen to me a lot last year before I was diagnosed.with PA. Its quite painful. It hasn't happened lately though thankfully. I was always wondering if it was happening to my arms and fingers is it happening in my brain? And if so, would it cause some bleeding that would cause brain injury?
