Epilactone is used to treat a range of medical conditions associated with excess fluid or fluid retention in the body. This medication is a diuretic that works to reduce the accumulation of excess fluid associated with conditions such as heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver disease.
Epilactone is also used to treat hyperaldosteronism, a condition resulting from increased secretion of the hormone aldosterone that leads to high blood pressure and fluid retention. The medication may sometimes be prescribed to treat other problems under the supervision of a specialist doctor, such as reducing swelling caused by some medical conditions or as part of long-term treatment to control blood pressure levels.
