Canrenone, sold under the brand names Contaren, Luvion, Phanurane, and Spiroletan, is a steroidal antimineralocorticoid[3][4] of the spirolactone group related to spironolactone which is used as a diuretic in Europe, including in Italy and Belgium.[5][6][7][8] It is also an important active metabolite of spironolactone, and partially accounts for its therapeutic effects.[9][2]
