Potassium sparing diuretics help lower blood pressure. Potassium sparing is a phrase that typically describes a special class of diuretics, Drugs.com explains. Diuretics are medications that help your body eliminate excess water. Usually, diuretics cause your body to excrete large amounts of potassium. This can lead to deficient levels of potassium in the body.
(At the same time, it also causes the kidneys to eliminate potassium.) The body then becomes overloaded with salt and water, and this worsens the heart failure. Spironolactone inhibits the action of aldosterone thereby causing the kidneys to excrete salt and fluid in the urine while retaining potassium. Therefore, spironolactone is classified as a potassium-sparing diuretic, a drug that promotes the output of urine (diuretic) while allowing the kidneys to retain potassium. The FDA approved spironolactone in October 1985.
