The main danger of taking all diuretics is their ability to wash away vital vitamins of potassium and magnesium from the body. Spironolactone, being a powerful diuretic, avoids this problem. It not only reduces the acidity of urine, but also prevents the elimination of potassium, urea and magnesium ions. This fact should be paid special attention, trying to replace Spironolactone - medicinal analogs do not always have potassium and magnesium-saving properties.
