Taking into account the clinical condition of the child, medications should be used strictly according to medical indications and any doubts should be clarified with the attending physician. Spironol is used in many diseases and has various indications: heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver (with swelling), ascites, nephrotic syndrome, hyperaldosteronism. The drug has a diuretic effect, increasing the excretion of sodium ions and at the same time sparing potassium.
