Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF NORACTONE 25 MG TABLETS:
- • Anti-Hypertensive Drugs
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF SPIRONOLACTONE:
- • Aldosterone antagonist with diuretic and antihypertensive effects; competitive binding of receptors at aldosterone-dependent Na-K exchange site in distal tubules results in increased excretion of Na+, Cl-, and water and retention of K+ and H+.
- • Thus it increases urine excretion, which by turn decreases blood volume and finally blood pressure.
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE TO REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE:
- • To measure blood pressure correctly:
- • Don’t eat or drink anything 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure.
- • Empty your bladder before your reading.
- • Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported for at least 5 minutes before your reading.
- • Put both feet flat on the ground and keep your legs uncrossed.
- • Rest your arm with the cuff on a table at chest height.
- • Make sure the blood pressure cuff is snug but not too tight. The cuff should be against your bare skin, not over clothing.
- • Do not talk while your blood pressure is being measured.
- • You will also find the following Non-Pharmacological treatments effective in blood pressure reduction:
- • Lose extra pounds and watch your waistline
- • Exercise regularly
- • Eat a healthy diet
- • Reduce sodium in your diet
- • Quit smoking
- • Reduce caffeine
- • Reduce your stress
- • Monitor your blood pressure at home using for example Beurer, Blood Pressure Monitor or Omron, Blood Pressure Measuring Device

- NORMAL RANGE:
- • Normal: Blood pressure numbers of less than 120/80 mm Hg
- • Elevated: is when readings consistently range from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic.
- • Hypertension Stage 1: is when blood pressure consistently ranges from 130-139 systolic or 80-89 mm Hg diastolic.
- • Hypertension Stage 2: is when blood pressure consistently ranges at 140/90 mm Hg or higher.
- • Hypertensive crisis: This stage of high blood pressure requires medical attention. If your blood pressure readings suddenly exceed 180/120 mm Hg, wait five minutes and then test your blood pressure again. If your readings are still unusually high, contact your doctor immediately. You could be experiencing a hypertensive crisis.
