Does it matter if spironolactone tablets are taken before or after meals?

Minsheng Spironolactone Tablets¥18.50 Spironolactone Tablets have certain effects in the treatment of edema, hypertension, primary aldosteronism, and prevention of hypokalemia. So, does it matter whether spironolactone tablets are taken before or after meals? The structure of spironolactone tablets is similar to that of aldosterone and is a competitive inhibitor of aldosterone. It acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, blocking the exchange of Na-K and Na-H. As a result, the excretion of Na, C1- and water increases, the excretion of K, Mg2 and H decreases, and its effect on Ca2 and Ca2 is uncertain. Since this drug only acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct and has no effect on other segments of the renal tubule, its diuretic effect is weak. In addition, this drug also has effects on aldosterone target organs other than renal tubules. Since there is basically no food in the stomach and small intestine before meals, taking medicine at this time will not be interfered by food and affect absorption, and the medicine can be fully exerted its effect quickly and completely. Therefore, any drug that requires full and rapid absorption without irritation should be taken orally before meals. Except for medicines that must be taken before meals and before going to bed, the rest can be taken orally after meals. Especially drugs that are irritating to the stomach. Experts suggest that spironolactone tablets should be taken after a meal. If taken before a meal, taking the drug on an empty stomach will have a certain stimulating effect on the stomach and is not conducive to the absorption of the drug. Taking it after a meal will slow down the irritation and facilitate the absorption of the drug.
