Overview

The optimal therapy for primary hyperladosteronism depends on the etiology of hyperaldosteronism. Medical therapy is indicated for bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and all ambiguous causes of primary hyperaldosteronism.

Medical Therapy

Indications

Medical therapy is indicated for:

The following agents may be used to medical management of primary hyperaldosteronism:

Drug Class Agents Mechanism of action Dosage Side effects
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists Spironolactone
  • 12.5 – 25 mg PO q12h
  • Max of 400 mg PO daily
Potassium canrenoate
  • 200 mg IV daily
  • Max of 800 mg daily
Eplerenone 50 mg PO daily[3]
Potassium-sparing diuretics
Calcium channel blockers
  • 5 mg PO daily
  • Max of 10 mg PO daily[7]
ACE inhibitors
  • 20mg-40mg PO daily[11]
Angiotensin receptor blockers
Dexamethasone therapy(For familial hyperaldosteronism type I) Dexamethasone
  • 0.5mg-0.75mg IV daily
