The Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study (RALES) trial is a landmark clinical study that assessed the impact of spironolactone, an aldosterone antagonist, on morbidity and mortality in patients with severe heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. [1] The findings from this trial significantly influenced the treatment guidelines for heart ...
Spironolactone has been studied in the treatment of rosacea in both males and females. [289] [290] [291] [75] [292] Spironolactone has been studied in fibromyalgia in women. [293] [294] It has also been studied in bulimia nervosa in women, but was not found to be effective. [295]
Spironolactone has been found to be effective in the treatment of hirsutism in women at a dosage of as low as 50 mg/day. [60] At dosages of 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day, observed reductions in hair shaft diameter were 19% ± 8% and 30% ± 3%, respectively ( p = 0.07).

Like spironolactone, it is a prodrug, and is metabolized to active canrenone in the body. [3] [4] Potassium canrenoate is notable in that it is the only clinically used antimineralocorticoid which is available for parenteral administration (specifically intravenous) [4] [5] as opposed to oral administration.
