Drug‐Resistant Sinus Tachycardia as a Dose‐Dependent Side Effect of Spironolactone: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Spironolactone is widely used for polycystic ovarian syndrome due to its anti-androgenic properties. However, rare cardiovascular side effects may occur even in normotensive patients. We report a case of severe palpitations and drug-resistant sinus tachycardia following high-dose therapy, emphasizing the need for cautious titration and cardiac monitoring.
