Spironolactone. Anybody on it?

Mullardman

Moderately extreme...
Being gently pressured by a' Heart Failure Nurse' to start on this stuff, for Heart Failure. Thing is the main benefits seem to be limiting Oedema ( swelling, mostly of ankles), which I don't have..and breathlessness, which I also don't have.

So the question becomes why? At least at this stage. I have enough drugs to deal with and the side effects of Spironolactone are hardly attractive.

I mentioned this to a GP a couple of weeks ago and he agreed with me..

Also I don't really want to change anything before second knee replacement op, as I coped well with the last one 14 weeks ago.

Anybody else have experience?
