Summary
Noni juice is rich in potassium, and spironolactone reduces renal potassium excretion. Regular intake can contribute to hyperkalemia, particularly in patients with kidney impairment or those taking other potassium-raising drugs.
What this interaction means in plain words
Noni juice and Spironolactone can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
Additive effect of dietary potassium load and aldosterone antagonism that decreases renal potassium excretion.
What to do
