Frulac is a brand name of Spironolactone and it comes in different forms of the tablet. It is a prescription drug that belongs to the class of drugs called potassium-sparing diuretics (water pill). It is used for the treatment of edema (swelling due to the accumulation of excessive fluid) associated with diseases such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and nephrotic syndrome. It is also used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Frulac works by increasing the rate of urine formation by inhibiting the sodium and potassium reabsorption from the kidney, this causes more frequent urination than normal. The increased flow of urination leads to a decrease in blood volume and the removal of this extra fluid from your body results in a decrease in edema. The decreased blood volume causes relaxation of the walls of blood vessels and this results in a decrease in blood pressure which gives relief from swelling and high blood pressure to the patient.
