sikalyt
Sikalyt is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient canrenone. It is used to treat edema (fluid retention) in patients with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or nephrotic syndrome (a kidney disorder). Sikalyt works by blocking the actions of the hormone aldosterone, which is responsible for causing the body to retain fluid and salt. By reducing aldosterone's effects, the medication helps to increase the excretion of water and salt from the body, thereby reducing swelling and fluid build-up. It is important to use Sikalyt exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional and to follow any recommended dietary restrictions or other instructions provided.
