Torasemide 40mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Torasemide 40mg is a loop diuretic used to remove excess fluid in edema related to heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, or pulmonary edema, and it may also be used for hypertension when prescribed. It increases sodium and water excretion through the kidneys, helping reduce swelling, breathlessness from fluid overload, and blood-pressure burden. Taking it too late in the day may disturb sleep because of increased urination. People using digoxin, lithium, aminoglycoside antibiotics, NSAIDs, antihypertensives, or other diuretics need careful review.

How to use

Take Torasemide 40mg in the morning or as directed. Track weight, swelling, blood pressure, and urine changes if advised, and keep planned electrolyte and kidney-function tests.

How it works

Torasemide blocks sodium, potassium, and chloride reabsorption in the loop of Henle, increasing urine output and reducing fluid overload.

Common side effects

Possible effects include frequent urination, dizziness, headache, dehydration, low blood pressure, electrolyte imbalance, muscle cramps, raised uric acid, and kidney-function changes. Rare concerns include hearing problems or severe allergic reaction.
