Difference between Estrogen (medication) and Spironolactone

Estrogen (medication) vs. Spironolactone

An estrogen is a type of medication which is used most commonly in hormonal birth control and menopausal hormone therapy. Spironolactone, sold under the brand name Aldactone among others, is a medication that is primarily used to treat fluid build-up due to heart failure, liver scarring, or kidney disease.
