What is the generic name for Aldactone?

Acetazolamide
Spironolactone
Aminocaproic acid
Simethicone

The correct answer is: Spironolactone

Spironolactone is the generic name for Aldactone, which is a diuretic and potassium-sparing medication used to treat a variety of conditions such as high blood pressure and edema (swelling). Acetazolamide is a diuretic but is not used to treat the same conditions as Aldactone. Aminocaproic acid and Simethicone are not diuretics and are not used to treat the same conditions as Aldactone. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it is the only option that is a diuretic and used to treat similar conditions as Aldactone.
