Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spironolact...

Spironolactone has a half-life of only 85 minutes.  This means, even after just one day, there would be less than 1/100,000 (one-one hundred thousandth, or 0.001% if you will) of the original dose left.

However, spironolactone is metabolized into canrenoate, which has a longer half-life: 10-35 hours.  Still, even at 35 hours, after two weeks there would be only about 0.13% of the original dose left.  (If you use 10 hours, there would be less than one-in-13-BILLION of it.)

But if the answer of this question is that important to you, you should check with your doctor, instead of relying on total strangers here on Yahoo Answer.

All the best.
