Pharmacological properties
In the instructions for Veroshpiron, the drug is described as a potassium-sparing diuretic.

Na +, Cl- and water are not absorbed back into the renal tubules, while K + and urea, on the contrary, penetrate through the endothelium of the vascular glomerulus into the blood.
