What are the signs and symptoms of spironolactone toxicity?
Toxicity from spironolactone can manifest in various ways, primarily due to its effects on electrolyte balance. Hyperkalemia, or elevated potassium levels, is the most significant risk. Symptoms of hyperkalemia may include muscle weakness, fatigue, palpitations, and in severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias. Other symptoms of spironolactone toxicity may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness.
