Hi & welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Aldactone.

The left sided kidney pain is UNLIKELY to be due to Aldactone.
Aldactone is prescribed in your case to increase the potassium level.
Beside it does not cause the soreness of the lining of the stomach.
Whereas the other prescribed drug Nifedical is also not responsible for the kidney pain.

I advise you to consult your treating oncologist to rule out other possibility of kidney pain on the affected side.

Hope to have answered your query.
