Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the Spironolactone is an Aldosterone receptor blocker and hence inhibits the Aldosterone mediated sodium potassium channel in distal convulated tubules. The spironolactone is not meant to raise the estrogen level, it is a side effect profile of the drug. Through this side effect, there may be gynecomastia development over a period of time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
