Diuretic Spironolacton Dosage ?

[castillian]

i HAVE 30 , 100mg , Spironolacton tablets. This is the safe diuretic ( water stripping ) medication that does not deplete essential electrolites with out which you die. I am 6' 2 1/2" and weigh 250 pounds. So what is the dosage and how long do they take to work ? I know you can't stay on this medication long but I want to know how much water can be liberated from a cycle of using them. I also know they are mostly used before contests. Thanks.

I do one tab with breakfast, and one with lunch IF NEEDED per some dosages I read on it awhile back, no more than that.

OK as to daily dose. How long do you stay of the diuretic ? You don't use it all the time do you ?

good question! How long takes a normal spironolactone-cycle (how many days before competition?) And whats the required dosage?

First Diuretic usage no matter which one is used is not SAFE. Unless you have a reason (contest) for using them i would not. This paticular diuretic while very mild in terms of getting water off has almost killed one Pro BB on 2 occasions in this past year.

Like you said it is Potasium Sparing, however as you should know - to much Potasium will KILL you.

You need to be very careful with what your eating and how much Potasium your foods have in them. And you would be suprised.

As for dose -

Typically it is ran Monday - Saturday (25 mg Morning and 25 mg Evening). Sodium is kept high during the initial phases of the carb up and then cut along with your water.

I won't be more specific then that. Hope you understand.
