Spironolactone is a synthetic steroid with an aldosterone-like structure; it acts as a competitive antagonist at aldosterone receptors. Spironolactone inhibits sodium and water reabsorption while sparing the potassium and magnesium metabolism. Spironolactone is also an anti-androgen.
It is sometimes given to men for liver failure. It can cause renal failure. I hope your not wanting to take this as an diuretic??
